13th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Initially disappointing for this stable this year but exploited a much-reduced mark when making all to beat a next-time-out winner at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good to firm) in August; possibly went too hard when attempting to follow up next time; remains on a workable mark and one to consider. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Initially disappointing for new stable this year but exploited much-reduced mark when making all to beat a next-time-out winner by 8l here (2m2f, good to firm) last month; back up 8lb for that but remains well handicapped on old form. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Galway festival winner in 2024 but hasn't matched that level since and has been well beaten on four of his five starts for this yard this year, latest when a 16l fourth to Mi Sueno over C&D last month; remains with plenty to find with that rival despite better terms. |

4yo who is penalised for winning a Bellewstown maiden in April (2m1f, good); 0-4 in the meantime but the form of those defeats reads well in the context of this race, with his latest conqueror progressive. |

3-3 in bumpers last year (two wins here) and opened hurdling account in modest Sedgefield maiden (2m4f, soft) in December; not discredited when fifth over 2m7f at Thurles (good) later that month and has good claims on this handicap debut if ready to roll after 204-day absence. |

Yet to get his head in front this summer but fine efforts in defeat in the Tribes at Galway and when beaten 1l over 2m1f at this venue behind the subsequent Galway hurdle winner; creeping up the weights and hasn't been shaping as though this longer trip is what he wants. |

Lightly-raced 8yo; Fair fifth at Kilbeggan on penultimate start off the same mark; workmanlike winner of a maiden hurdle last time at Downpatrick (2m3f, good); this will be just his second run in a handicap so he is entitled to continue improving. |

Won over this trip at Thurles last November (yielding) and running well in defeat of late, third to Ballybrittas at Wexford (2m) and only weakened late into fourth (Leave In Secret third) over 2m2f at Galway festival on similar ground; has her chance again. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Ex-Irish 7yo; dual point winner who has not been with Dan Skelton for long, and his maiden hurdle win at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last month is split by two runner-up efforts over fences; turned over at 4-6 in a three-runner race last time but he looked stretched over 3m2f and he's still unexposed in this sphere; big player back in trip. |

Won two points in Ireland; beaten 3l by Limerick Leader on yard debut at Bangor (3m, good) but he's now 13lb better off with the winner and has since won a maiden hurdle here, albeit narrowly; interesting on that Bangor form. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |

Fair maiden hurdler at 2m-2m4f and a dual Irish point winner who was in good form in that sphere in the spring; made a pleasing start for Dan Skelton when a 3l second to a subsequent winner in a handicap chase at Bangor (3m, good) two weeks ago; leading contender back in maiden company over hurdles. |

One of two for yard; won beginners' by 5.5l over 2m2f (yielding) here last September; three respectable runs over timber since and shaped like this trip might be within reach at Ballinrobe last time; could go well in first handicap chase. |

Hit the frame in a maiden hurdle at Catterick in January and sixth in a much deeper race at Navan subsequently; didn't beat a rival on the Flat last month but that may have just been a pipe opener for his return to this sphere; not ruled out on handicap debut with cheekpieces fitted. |

Verdict
A tricky handicap. bGoodie Girlp stuck to her task well when winning over C&D last time and the form has been franked. She should go well again if she can keep the jumping errors at bay. bHills Of Gloryp won a maiden hurdle here last month but the form doesn’t look strong. Gordon Elliott’s bChortalp should go well but bDEPALMAp gets the tentative nod. The lightly raced 6yo has a big pull in the weights with Goodie Girl and should be sharper this time around.
