11st 12lb |
Rated 139 over hurdles; made all for three wins over hurdles last year; career best when winning a 20-runner Leopardstown handicap last Christmas (2m4f, good to yielding); bombed out on his first try over fences at Ballinrobe last time (2m1f, good); is better than that. |

Made all for three wins over hurdles last year; career best at Leopardstown (2m4f, good to yielding) last Christmas when taking 20-runner handicap; dropped away in the straight in the Coral Cup; won a point-to-point for Ciaran Murphy in 2023; should make a useful novice chaser. |

Has won four in a row over hurdles over a variety of trips this summer; has a bit to find on these terms with some of today's rivals but is an improving sort so has to be considered. |

11st 10lb |
Galway maiden hurdle winner was over-faced several times over fences after winning Roscommon novice which fell apart last summer; little wrong with his 6l fourth on handicap debut at Wexford; there with every chance at the last when weakened quickly on run-in behind Blood Destiny at Galway (favourite); has a bit to find here on ratings. |

Course maiden hurdle winner was over-faced several times over fences after winning a Roscommon novice which fell apart last summer; has the beating of Blood Destiny on Listowel running two runs back, and little wrong with his 6l fourth to Lisleigh Lad on handicap debut at Wexford, where he didn't quite see it out over a furlong farther. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |

Highly tried and has cut little ice, including thrice at Grade 3 level, since winning a 2m novice at Roscommon last summer; appeared to run well behind much higher-rated rivals in conditions contest at Listowel last time, but marksman left him alone; capable of being competitive in first handicap. |

Dual hurdles winner got off the mark over fences at Kilbeggan (2m4f) and ran a similar race in defeat in Galway Grade 3 since; bitterly disappointing when pulled up at Wexford latest (favourite; clear of rivals on ratings); needs to bounce back in first-time tongue-tie. |

Dual hurdle winner got off the mark over fences at Kilbeggan over 2m4f and ran a similar race in defeat in a Galway Grade 3 since; the cheekpieces worn then are replaced by blinkers; is clear of these rivals on ratings and should take beating. |

Plenty of chasing experience; has failed to build on a fine second behind Intense Approach in this race last year; best of his six subsequent starts when second in a handicap at last year's Listowel festival; pulled up at Roscommon last time, early mistake may have harmed his confidence; may bounce back to pose a threat now. |

29th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 147y |
11st 1lb |
Smart hurdler, though with an inferior mark to King Of Kingsfield; however, he's already a better chaser and after dominating Itsalladream at Ballinrobe he was runner-up (from the front) in a Grade 3 at Galway; standout claims. |
8/11 |

2nd 8 |
31st Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 1lb |
Decent hurdler is a higher-rated chaser despite just one win from six attempts, unchallenged in beating Itsalladream at Ballinrobe in May (good) on latest; posted higher RPR's in defeat earlier under similar forcing tactics, notably fourth in valuable 2m1f Plumpton handicap; Townend's pick but possibly vulnerable at this level. |
7/2 |

26th May 2025 Good 2m 1f 54y |

Useful hurdler, though won only once from eight starts; 0-5 over fences and appears flattered by an official rating of 140; made a couple of mistakes when beaten favourite (fourth) for a Plumpton handicap five weeks ago; reproduction of neck second to Aspire Tower at Wexford might be enough in this company. |
