Back to form with 1.5l third of 15 behind in-form Arch Enemy at Killarney (11.5f, good) five days ago; might prefer a bit of an ease in the ground, but place claims again off the same mark. |

Last year's win in this race came off 1lb lower (soft); winning hurdler has been running okay on the Flat of late but good bit more needed and draw hasn't been kind. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
8st 13lb |
Maiden gelding by Frankel; started his career with the Gosdens; has shown potential for a belated breakthrough in his two most recent races; recovered from interference at the start to finish fourth over this trip at Down Royal in May; leading contender based on his second to solid yardstick Jurality over 1m5f at Navan; same good 7lb claimer aboard now. |

7th Jun 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y |

Maiden produced one of his better efforts on latest when not far behind a couple of these rivals at Down Royal (2m, good); place shout if he backs that up, but overall profile suggests that's not guaranteed. |

Dual-purpose maiden showed some ability in maiden hurdles but has been poor in handicaps; of limited appeal back on the Flat. |

Moderate on the Flat but has improved over hurdles; got first win under rules at Wexford in August (2m1f, good); form of that race not the strongest and was tailed off at Ballinrobe last time. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 60y |

Moderate Flat maiden but better hurdler, coming good at third attempt in 2m1f Wexford maiden earlier this month, up with pace throughout, finding lots from the last; form probably doesn't amount to much but going the right way and likes good ground. |
13/2 |

6th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 190y |

Modst Flat maiden but has run creditably in both maiden hurdle outings, at Clonmel and Downpatrick; this doesn't look a strong race so probably won't need to improve much to go closer. |

Has form here and deserved his maiden win at Roscommon (2m4f, good to yielding), beating 14 rivals; the hood is working well and this 4yo comes into handicaps with a progressive profile. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 200y |

Steadily improving 4yo finished a clear second over 2m4f at Perth (good) early this month and 11 days later again clear of the remainder when beaten 2l by an odds-on shot at Downpatrick (2m2f, good), not fluent at last and tending to hang left but keeping on well in first-time hood; still a work in progress but major player. |

Half-sister to 2m7f hurdles winner So They Tell Me, from family of high-class mare Like-A-Butterfly; promising Tipperary debut in May but hasn't built on that in two runs since; big step up in trip here for handicap debut and any market support worth noting. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 200y |

A 33-1 winner on good ground at Cork last summer; shaped nicely at Down Royal last month when staying on late (2m2f, good) and built on that when fourth of 13 at Downpatrick over the same trip four days later; this ground suits her and she's getting her act together. |
