Three-time winner over hurdles; creditable second on Flat debut at Ballinrobe, though well held since on softer ground in a stronger Galway fillies maiden; back in trip here. |

Three-time winner over hurdles; creditable second on recent Flat debut at Ballinrobe, though beaten 8l in a race of lower standard than this; now has to take on younger rivals and will need to find plenty of improvement. |

11st 9lb |
Placed in a small-field bumper for Gordon Elliott on debut; has struggled in four starts since joining this stable, unseated at the second over hurdles at Fairyhouse last time; both a hood and tongue-tie are now applied for chasing debut and his pedigree gives hope he may do better in this sphere. |

Ran well on debut in a heavy ground Navan bumper but has regressed since; no signs of a revival when pulled up on handicap debut at Wexford in May; off since and can only watch. |

16th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 140y |
10st 12lb |
A 15-race maiden but her best form has come here; beaten 3.5l into third by well-handicapped rival over C&D in October off 7lb higher; below form three starts this term but she would have a big chance if reproducing October effort. |
6/1 |

Now 0-4 under rules, chase debut third in Tramore handicap last October probably her best effort; lots to find with a couple of these on last month's C&D debut effort. |

Won a maiden over hurdles but only placed form (including here) in handicaps; chase debut was a tough one at Tramore in late May, switches to handicap ranks here. |

Point winner had some okay handicap runs, when hooded and fairly well fancied, for Peter Fahey last year; best effort was fourth of 18 over 2m4f at Listowel festival; two poor runs over 3m this year, including last month's stable debut (only 11-2, no headgear); hood back on and tongue-tie added. |

Hints of ability in handicap hurdles last year, and well backed on a few occasions; below par at Cork on final start before joining Emmet Mullins; the market may provide a guide. |

Just 1-19 over hurdles but has been consistent in defeat lately, at Clonmel and twice at Wexford; the blinkers are new and he can be involved again. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 150y |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 55y |

Maiden was placed on a few occasions when trained by Tony Martin; flopped at Downpatrick ten days ago; her previous run at the same venue was respectable, beaten around 10l in third and in front of Sekakarma who improved on that last time. |

Dual-purpose maiden has been below form of late hurdling; hasn't run on the Flat in over a year and hard to be confident in; 3lb wrong. |

8th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 180y |

Clearly more expected of her over C&D last month when 4-1 but beaten 23l by Chosen Shant (good); not helped by jumping errors that day; beaten a long way on penultimate C&D start as well; longstanding maiden who went close at Tipperary in May (2m1f, good to yielding); she will put it all together someday. |
