Flat winner; dual victories over hurdles include a C&D win; just 0.5l behind subsequent Galway Hurdle winner Putapoundinthejar at Bellewstown last month (2m1f, good), winner now rated 14lb higher; not a bad effort on the Flat at Galway last time (1m4f, yielding to soft); interesting. |

Dual-purpose sort has been soundly beaten on recent Flat runs but ran a cracker over hurdles at Bellewstown last time; chance if converting that back to this sphere. |

11st 12lb |
Sole win in 14 starts on Flat came here over 1m on good last month off 75; set to finish a decent third on hurdles debut at Tipperary in October; that form entitles him to be considered. |

30th Jul 2026 Yielding 1m 0f 98y |
9st 7lb |
Runner-up on five occasions; had become expensive to follow before beating Earls narrowly at Killarney, justifying good market support; has gone up 8lb, but his confidence may have been boosted by the breakthrough win. |

Maiden has finished second five times, twice at Ballinrobe and three times at Leopardstown; on second start of the season, was backed at latter venue when front-running second over 1m1f; that was on soft to heavy, but he's fine on good; doesn't have to lead, but mightn't be much competition for it here. |

Offered little for Charles Byrnes and again on debut for this yard at Roscommon (1m4f); best trip remains a mystery and a hood is now turned to. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 17y |
9st 8lb |
Moderate form for Charles Byrnes, dead in the market when tailed off on handicap debut in August; owner likes to shuffle the pack and has sent 6yo to another sharp operator; tongue-tie and champion jockey. |

Filly has been slow to mature; some merit in her run in a claimer at Roscommon; makes stable and handicap debut; open to improvement. |
12/1 |

19th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 95y |

The least exposed runner here with only two runs behind her; improvement is feasible; good 7lb claimer booked; perhaps worth a market check. |

Has 8l to find with Janes Harbour on their Ballinrobe clash but that was this filly's debut; now goes in cheekpieces with Colin Keane taking over. |

Showed more when fourth in a C&D maiden before a poor run back on turf but should appreciate the step back up in trip on handicap debut and assessor has given her a fair mark. |

Late starter put up an improved effort when fourth (125/1) in a Dundalk maiden over 1m2.5f; this trip might be a bit sharp for her but she can't be ruled out. |

Well behind at Ballinrobe last time; wasn't far behind Adial Kedo but both were well adrift of Janes Harbour. |

5yo who only made her debut in June of last year; has found her level with prominent shows in 1m good-ground handicaps at Naas and Gowran; slower ground would ask questions but respected otherwise. |

Useful winning hurdler; third (1m1f) and fourth (1m4f) in two maidens this summer, last time beaten at odds-on; still appeals as one of the more likelier winners. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 17y |
9st 4lb |
Fair hurdler, winning Ballinrobe mares maiden in May (good) and solid run there on Flat last week when clear third in 1m2f maiden; extra 2f here should suit and major player. |
5/2 |

23rd Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 163y |

Showed some ability on sole Flat start last year; has accumulated plenty of experience over hurdles since then; placed four times and fourth in a competitive Punchestown handicap hurdle before readily landing the odds in a maiden at this venue late last month; good middle-distance Flat pedigree. |
