10st 7lb |
Belatedly off the mark last month in 3m1f Roscommon handicap chase (good) in first-time tongue-tie, her first attempt at the trip; has to be of interest back hurdling at the same distance, though tongue-tie left off today. |

0-21 under rules; hasn't offered much in her three previous chases but returns to this discipline after some pleasing runs over hurdles and the tongue-tie is new. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 180y |
11st 5lb |
Hasn't run badly at times in six runs over fences, including when fourth of nine in a Tramore beginners' chase last time (2m6f, good); won here over hurdles on seasonal return/stable debut in May (2m4f, good to yielding) off 104; could go well. |

13th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |

Rated 100 after five runs over fences; the latest of those was a positive third in a Roscommon handicap chase in August last year (2m6f, yielding) off 99; made winning stable debut in a Killarney handicap hurdle in May (2m4f, good to yielding); tailed off at Ballinrobe last time; most experienced of these but others probably more talented. |

Won this race a year ago; didn't appear again until a solid fourth off this mark at Punchestown in June; should be involved if in the same form. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 157y |
10st 9lb |
Improved for being sent chasing last summer and landed a Roscommon handicap on his third start over fences when last seen 305 days ago, travelling powerfully before beating subsequent winner Hit The Frame by 2.75l; unexposed for an 8yo and big chance off 6lb higher mark if ready to go after absence. |

Both chase wins have come at Sligo; has been in poor form over hurdles and fences lately so others preferred. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 121y |

Both his chase wins have come at this track over 3m2f on better ground; two runs since returning to action have not been inspiring, tailed off over hurdles at Punchestown and pulled up over fences at Roscommon. |

11st 3lb |
14yo veteran won on return from six months off at Down Royal (3m2f, good) in April; not as good twice since including on latest over C&D; needs more off this mark. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 3m 1f 24y |

This 14yo retains plenty of enthusiasm and after going up 7lb for his win at Down Royal (3m2f, good) he stuck to his guns to make the frame there a month ago; has won here over hurdles and should go well again. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 15y |
10st 1lb |
Sole success at Listowel (2m6f, soft) in September 2024 off 7lb lower; only run four times since, all handicap chases, and off the track since a 31l defeat at Killarney in July 2025; has ability but might need this run. |

18th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y |

Off the mark over timber last year; getting better with each chase run this season and was only beaten 2l over this trip at Tipperary last time; big player from 2lb higher with untapped potential in this sphere. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 0y |
11st 1lb |
Consistent form this year before deserved second win over fences came in runaway fashion in 2m7f Killarney handicap last month; solid run off 9lb higher at same venue 8 days ago when a clear second to an improving sort; 2lb higher but definite player. |
9/2 |

2nd 12 |
20th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 100y |
10st 12lb |
Modest strike rate of 2-22 over fences but was on a real going day over C&D last time, blowing the field apart by 15l (good to yielding); up 9lb for that, but if he's in the same form he has a huge chance; overall record suggests that's no sure thing though. |
5/2 |
|
1st 13 |
17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y |

Modest strike rate of 1-21 over fences; took the runner-up spot on consecutive occasions at Limerick and Tramore in April/May, both over 2m6f on good; lesser run back at Tramore when last seen over fences (2m6f, good); poor effort back over hurdles at Limerick earlier this month. |

Bagged his two chase wins in 2023 at around 2m1f at Limerick and Ballinrobe, with his latest win coming off 12lb higher; out of form this year and change of stable didn't help much when tailed off at Ballinrobe latest. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 0y |
11st 3lb |
Somehow, the veteran has found top form at the ripe age of 13, three wins over the summer include at Tramore and most recently over 3m2f at Kilbeggan a week ago, winning handily; up 7lb for latest but in the form of his life and has to enter calculations. |
11/2 |

1st 10 |
21st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 180y |

Somehow, the veteran has found top form at the ripe age of 13; won at Downpatrick in June off 72 (3m, good) and held form well when placed twice at Wexford over 2m4f/3m1f; landed a third career success when an easy winner at Tramore last time (2m6f, good); up 6lb for that but has to be on the shortlist considering his form. |
5/1 |

Last win was in July 2021 and he's an 11yo now; however, there's no knocking his recent efforts in handicaps from 2m3f to 2m7f and has each-way claims despite looking handicapped about right. |

Returns to rules on the back of competitive efforts in points but he was a maiden hurdler and this is his first time over regulation fences; others perhaps safer. |
