Three wins on the Flat and now 2-16 over hurdles after beating Becasse and Putapoundinthejar at Listowel; up 4lb, could feature again with Josh Williamson's claim. |

Dual-purpose gelding who is consistent in the main and he was returning from a lengthy break when never that competitive at Punchestown a month ago; perhaps a shade high in the weights, even if he can return to best. |

Killarney handicap hurdle winner in August (2m1f, good) off 113; fairly consistent hurdles/Flat form afterwards and recorded a third Flat win at Dundalk when last seen in December; this ground suits. |

28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Three-time AW winner added a second turf win in decisive fashion on return from 107 days off on first try over 1m4f (good) at Leopardstown last month; ridden by 7lb claimer that day so effectively 15lb higher here; will need a big career best to follow up, but unexposed at this distance and can't be discounted. |

Weighed in light when down the field in a claimer last time out; best efforts have come over a fair bit further than this and hard to recommend on recent form. |

20th Jul 2026 Good 1m 1f 135y |
9st 6lb |
Decent operator at a level on turf and AW, his most recent win coming in a 1m2f Dundalk handicap in January last year; not seen since third in a Tipperary handicap 14 months ago; market may prove the best guide. |
10/1 |

Four Flat wins divided between turf and the AW; couldn't get going in time when a beaten favourite in latest AW claimer over 7f and returning to further should help; considered. |

4th Sep 2025 Standard 0m 6f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Both wins have come over 1m at Dundalk; joined this stable after a below-par run on soft ground in a Tipperary claimer in May; faded on yard debut at Dundalk; this surface should be fine for him, trip may be inadequate. |

9st 13lb |
Triple course winner over 1m-1m2f, including on firm; placed elsewhere over 1m4f; 1lb higher than when winning a 0-60 here last month; claims if repeating that effort but has a bit to prove after his last three starts. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Front-runner who has won three times at Bath (1m/1m2f) since the start of last month, but he didn't get home when fourth of nine over C&D (good to firm) nine days ago; may not face too much competition up front so could still be dangerous. |

Front-runner; modest overall strike-rate but not in recent weeks having won three of his last five races, all victories at Bath (1m-1m2f); still on a fair mark and good to soft ground was a feasible excuse at Chepstow last Monday. |
