9st 6lb |
One of seven for yard; won the Ebor Trial here in June (1m6f, good) off 87; raised 8lb and came up short in the Ebor at York on latest; handicapper might just have him where he wants him for now. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Unraced on firmer than good; wore cheekpieces on last three starts; won a 1m6f maiden at Gowran Park last September, two hurdle races last jumps season (including a 2m4f Grade 2 novice in April) and 1m6f handicap at the Curragh this June; well beaten in two major handicap hurdles, including at Galway three weeks ago, but he's on an upward curve with those other results. |

Won a 1m6f Gowran maiden by 7l last September and scored again in a 1m6f handicap at the Curragh in June; hurdling in between, won a 2m4f Grade 2 Novice at Fairyhouse in April; might prefer further, but a strong-run 2m could suit. |

11st 5lb |
Useful on the Flat and over hurdles and he ran pretty well when second at Downpatrick in August on his sole chase start; he's also the only one who has run recently but he was tailed off on the Flat at Naas only on Sunday, and others in this race appeal as having greater potential. |
20/1 |

7th 7 (12) |
16th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 174y |
9st 8lb |
Rated 129 over hurdles and satisfactory chase debut when runner-up at Downpatrick last month; 6-28 on the Flat, his last win in this code gained at Dundalk (2m) in January 2025; inexperienced rider aboard; runner-up in this race in 2024 but only sixth last year. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |

Rated 129 over hurdles and probably ran to about that mark when runner-up in a Wexford handicap hurdle earlier this month; makes his chasing debut here and clearly respected if his jumping holds up. |

Won the Tattersalls Gold Cup in 2021; first-past-the-post in last year's Galway Hurdle, demoted for causing interference; fair sixth in this year's edition on ground plenty quick, below best back on the Flat at Leopardstown recently. |

Won the Tattersalls Gold Cup in 2021; first-past-the-post in last year's Galway Hurdle, demoted for causing interference; fair sixth in this year's edition; otherwise, no sign of that standard of form in valuable handicaps over hurdles. |

30th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 11y |

Enjoyed a career highlight when winning the Group 1 Tattersalls Gold Cup in 2021; very nearly matched that achievement when first-past-the-post in this race last year, demoted for causing interference to Ndaawi; no sign of that standard of form in valuable handicap over hurdles or on the Flat since then; still 5lb higher than 12 months ago. |

Had a lot of Flat racing, winning only twice but in good form this year; maiden hurdle winner and capable of better than he showed in his latest run over jumps when tailed off in a Ballinrobe handicap in May; some stamina doubts over this far. |

Triple Listed winner, including at Limerick and Newmarket (awarded race) in 2024; not discredited off hefty weights in Curragh premier handicaps in June before set tall task in a Group 2 there in July; lesser run in the Petingo latest (1m5f, good to yielding); mark remains high and blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

Three-time Listed winner including here over 1m6f and this time last year awarded 2m Newmarket contest (soft) after winner failed drug test; not discredited under hefty weights in Curragh premier handicaps in June and following month tough enough task when fourth of 7 in Group 2 Curragh Cup; back in handicap company but remains vulnerable. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 2 |
9st 1lb |
Two hurdle wins last autumn seem a pretty meagre return for his respected yard but he was unlucky when a strong-finishing third in the 2024 Chester Cup (2m2f) and much the same can be argued for his fourth in this race last year when denied a clear run at crucial stage (3lb lower today); usually makes inroads far too late, as in the Chester Cup and Northumberland Plate last two outings, and stall 1 demands some luck here, but a sound pace up front could bring him into the equation. |
14/1 |

8th 18 (18) |
27th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Two novice hurdles last autumn seem a pretty meagre return for respected yard but he was an unlucky, strong-finishing third in the 2024 Chester Cup; glimpses of that Flat ability on occasions since, but he made inroads far too late from out the back in this last year (11th at 13-2) and it was a similar story in last month's Chester Cup (8th at 11-1); something needs to change and such a wide draw probably means he tries to come from the back again. |
14/1 |

8th 11 (9) |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
An unlucky, strong-finishing third in this race in 2024 (good to firm; his only run here) and has a 1lb lower mark today; flickers of that ability on occasions since, though had to have his sights lowered for two hurdle wins last autumn; tailed off at 40-1 in a Grade 1 novice hurdle four weeks ago, after a winter break, and could be more interesting this time. |

Classy hurdler 4-11 in that sphere and rated 140; ground versatile; off since decent Flat run at the Curragh in October; returns with yard in form and his half-brother Royal Hollow has won for this stable over fences; could prove hard to beat if fit. |

Both career wins (from 25 races) have come on Dundalk AW, but he finished on the heels of winner Spirit Mixer in this race last year (good to soft) and was also bang there in the Chester Plate this May; backward steps on last two outings but he's not ruled out. |

Both career wins have come here, the latest in this race last year off 1lb higher; has run well in defeat over much further on turf a couple of times this term and soft ground wouldn't have suited at Galway latest; should be doing his best work at the finish. |
