Not as good as Star Artist over hurdles; been offering more on the Flat, appreciating the step up to this trip when having Star Artist behind in Constitution Hill's Kempton race last time; handicaps will likely be her time to shine after this. |

Modest maiden hurdler; fared best of the rest behind easy winner at Wolverhampton (8.5f) last week on Flat debut, shaping as if this longer trip will suit; needs big improvement on form, however. |

Regressive, ex-Irish hurdler who's struggled in four runs for her new yard, who also saddle Laravie; will do very well to get involved. |

11st 6lb |
Progressive mare won handicaps at Ballinrobe and Kilbeggan earlier this term, and added a further win with career-best in taking 2m6f Galway conditions event early this month, produced late to win going away; clearly in terrific form, although drop back to 2m may not be ideal. |

Back to back handicap hurdle wins at Ballinrobe and Kilbeggan earlier this term; fine effort to finish a 2.75l third of 20 off 126 in the Tribes here last month; beaten favourite on the Flat at Tramore sole start since; mares' allowance and rider's claim bring her into the picture. |

Has been in the form of her career this season, winning handicap hurdles at Ballinrobe and Kilbeggan before finishing a close third at Galway; now rated 129 in that sphere so has to be respected on Flat debut over a trip that will suit. |

Off the mark in decisive fashion at Cork on latest, beating Surviving Murmansk by 3.75l; 6lb rise for that seems reasonable and it looked like he had plenty in hand; likely to go well again. |

Pick of form when runner-up in 2m Punchestown handicap in May (good-to-yielding), two recent Kilbeggan runs not without merit; one to consider. |

Attracted support at Down Royal in early May, let down by his jumping; much more like it when second in a 19-runner contest at Punchestown nine days later; failed to build on that at this venue next time, this longer trip may suit him better. |

Standout run in 12 efforts came over 2m1f at Wexford last year when 3.75l second off 6lb higher; never a factor on return 38 days ago and needs to prove he stays this distance. |

Back from a spell chasing with a solid second at Downpatrick (2m6f, good); failed to run to that level 15 days later at Ballinrobe; now 2lb lower than when runner-up over fences at Downpatrick in May so not without a chance. |

Back from a spell chasing with a solid effort at Downpatrick (2m6f, good), beaten just 1.25l into second of 10; nudged up 2lb, so remains 8lb above sole success, but yard red hot so should be on the premises again. |

Hiked up 16lb for back-to-back wins at Clonmel and this venue in the summer (both 22.5f, good); twice unplaced before a fine second for this rider (champion female point-to-point rider) at Navan; may have found 2m3f inadequate when unplaced favourite at Clonmel last time. |

10st 9lb |
Consistent and holding form well enough in handicaps; beaten around 6l off this mark the last twice, at Down Royal (2m4f, good) and Wexford (2m1f, gd-yld) when wearing first-time cheekpieces (retained); step back up to this trip should suit; in the mix again. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |

One of two for trainer; maiden has been consistent in handicaps; runner-up at Tramore off this mark in November (2m5f, soft); below that when a beaten favourite at Down Royal next time (2m4f, yielding), finishing a distant third; another good effort when fourth back there last time; maybe the cheekpieces can get a bit more from him. |

Wexford specialist with both of her wins coming there, the most recent of which was in May off 81 (2m1f, good); again ran well there last time when a 3.5l third (2m1f, good to yielding); remains 9lb above last win but she is in good form |

Second reserve; couldn't take advantage of a 7lb lower chase mark here last month when a close third of 12 (2m, good); returned to hurdles at Cork last time when a well beaten fifth (2m1f, good); she likes this track with both of her wins coming here so not discounted if getting a run. |
