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. |

11st 7lb |
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. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won novice hurdle in April and is 3-3 over fences since, the latest win gained in three-runner contest at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last month; may still have more improvement to come if aided by first-time cheekpieces but contests a stronger race here and the drop back in trip is not sure to suit. |

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. |

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. |

11th Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |

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. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 180y |
10st 12lb |
Two hurdle wins came over shorter trips and off the mark chasing in 2m5f Kilbeggan handicap in May, following that up with good third in competitive 2m4f handicap at same track; clearly in good order and could go well here off 8lb lower hurdles mark. |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
10st 7lb |
Made it third time lucky over fences when bolting up over C&D last month; 6lb rise for that 7l win seems reasonable and while this is more demanding, he's unexposed in this sphere and there could still be more to come. |

31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 80y |

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. |

11st 12lb |
Won a Tipperary maiden hurdle last year, and met trouble in running when held twice afterwards; tongue-tie added to hood for chase debut; bred for this game but is stable second-string and has been off nearly a year. |

Maiden has been consistent in defeat on last three starts; beaten 6l over 2m5f at Sligo last time and this shorter trip may suit better; one to consider. |

10st 13lb |
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. |

Won twice in France early in his career; Irish Flat form provides little encouragement; however, he showed he was in good shape when winning a handicap hurdle at Downpatrick last month, adding to a novice win at the same venue last summer. |
