31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Exposed hurdler 1-14 in that sphere and rated 113; his win came over 3m2f but he's effective at this shorter trip; however, not an obvious candidate for chasing on breeding and lacks a recent run; others appeal more. |

Won off 10lb lower at Sligo (3m2f, good) in May; beaten 1l off 114 at Kilbeggan in July (20.5f, yld-sft) and just 1lb higher here; not beaten far at Perth latest and he has place claims. |

10st 2lb |
Yet to make any significant further progress since comfortable win in 15-runner Sligo handicap (3m2f, good) in June and was below form when well-held third in Downpatrick novice on Friday but has a big role to play if back on song here. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
12st 7lb |
Completed a hat-trick when winning at Kelso (extended 2m5f) ten days ago, making it 2-2 over fences, with all victories coming on good ground (handles soft); had a hard enough race there and shoulders a penalty here, so the booking of 5lb claimer William Shanahan looks a positive and another bold showing can be expected if this run doesn't come too soon. |

Comes into this in good form having won a novice hurdle over 2m4f on good ground at Newcastle in April and on chase debut at Southwell 13 days ago; still feasibly treated; contender. |

12st 0lb |
Dual Flat winner in Denmark and now a dual winner over hurdles after narrowly taking a small-field novice at Newcastle last month (2m4f, good); could be on a fair mark for this chasing debut but he'll need to take to fences. |

15th Jun 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 165y |
12st 0lb |
Bumper winner on yielding; won a 2m4f Sedgefield maiden hurdle (good) in April on return from 244 days off and the second, third and fourth from that race have all won since; yard had a welcome winner on Thursday at Leopardstown; lightly raced sort should be fine over this shorter trip. |

Debut Kilbeggan bumper winner (2m, yielding) in summer 2023; bettered his opening Punchestown hurdles effort when chasing home the now 121-rated Major Barry in a Roscommon maiden (2m4f, good) last July; found a suitable opportunity to reappear from a 277-day absence; shortlisted. |

11st 7lb |
Relished good ground last summer when winning over hurdles at this course and Ballinrobe and ran well in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick off 110; unseated when in contention three out at Tramore on chase debut; clear of the third when no match for a warm favourite over C&D 16 days ago; could be hard to beat now. |

Relished good ground last summer when winning over hurdles at this course and Ballinrobe and ran well in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick off 110; unseated when in contention three out at Tramore 25 days ago on chase debut; definite chance again for in-form trainer. |

Took a big step forward to win a Tipperary maiden hurdle in May; met trouble in running at Downpatrick last month; opening mark appears a shade harsh. |

Two runs in bumpers on yielding-soft were modest but a first-time hood (retained) and switch to hurdles after a 122-day break saw him win a Tipperary maiden last month (2m1f, gd-yld); that form has taken a couple of knocks and the forecast rain is not in his favour. |

Veteran went close in a 2m3f bumper (good) here last July in this headgear combination; well beaten minus the hood on return from 312 days off in a 2m3f maiden hurdle here (good); will strip fitter now and the hood returns but lots more needed. |

Got off the mark over hurdles when winning a C&D novice hurdle last June; well below that level in two hurdle starts after; not a bad Navan Flat run recently; due to run in the 7.50 at Gowran Wednesday. |

Dual-purpose winner has been well beaten last six Flat starts; continues to drop in the handicap; recent Gowran run provides limited encouragement. |
