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. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |
10st 0lb |
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. |
12/1 |

4th 6 |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
10st 8lb |
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. |
10/1 |

5th 3 |
1st Jun 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 0y |

Has won a maiden hurdle and a novice chase; has looked a bit outclassed in Grade 3s in his last three races and a similar scenario seems likely in this company (well behind Jesse Evans last time). |

11st 9lb |
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. |

30th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |

Dual hurdle winner over shorter and has already had eight chase runs; beaten 12l by Shadow Paddy on return at Limerick but went one better at Kilbeggan since; cheekpieces added and needs more. |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Two hurdle wins came on good in 2024 and he's 0-7 since switching to chasing but has been placed five times, best effort coming over this course and distance a year ago when second in competitive handicap off 133; bit disappointing as odds-on fav when beaten 12l 25 days ago but should come on for that and has an experience edge. |

31st Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |

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. |

8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 100y |

The most experienced chaser in the field but is 0-9; beaten 11.5l off 125 in Navan handicap chase (2m4f, heavy) when last seen in December; goes well fresh but best form on good ground so wouldn't want to see much rain. |

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. |
