10st 13lb |
Two wins on the Flat in 2025 but losing run over hurdles stretches back to a Grade 2 win at Cheltenham in December 2020; new yard now and has been off since October; may need this run. |

Veteran has had a good season on the Flat, recording 2m wins at Tramore and Clonmel; decent run back at 1m4f on latest and now reverts to hurdles for first time since January 2024 (Grade 2 Cheltenham novice winner in his day). |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 170y |
10st 13lb |
Dual-purpose maiden had been placed over hurdles for Gordon Elliott but has been poor in two starts for this yard (both here) and needs improvement on her best form anyway. |

0-16 on the Flat; best effort over timber came in a 2m maiden hurdle here last year but was still beaten 13.5l in that contest; not obviously well treated for handicap debut and best watched. |

Regressive Flat maiden wasn't beaten far on hurdling debut last year before falling; will be better suited to handicaps. |

10st 0lb |
Five-time Flat winner has scored twice over hurdles, one of them coming at this venue over 2m4f; middling Flat efforts on her first two runs this year, but better at Downpatrick back over hurdles last month when a distant fourth (2m6f, good); others preferred; 1lb wrong. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 90y |
10st 9lb |
Best hurdle run came when third at Downpatrick last time in this sphere, but was poor on the Flat since, so has to put that effort behind him. |
10/1 |
|
8th 5 (1) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 109y |
9st 6lb |
Just 1-21 on the Flat but not beaten far the last twice; closely matched with Kevin The Great on Navan running earlier this month; didn't quite see out 2m2f at Down Royal latest; goes well here and big chance back down in trip off last winning mark for local yard. |
5/1 |

3rd 3 |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 165y |
11st 6lb |
Glimmers of promise in maiden hurdles last year and rated 102; decent effort off lowly mark on the Flat at Navan on latest (1m5f, good); rider takes off useful 7lb and would have a place chance on best form over timber. |

24th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
8st 10lb |
Two wins last season, both of them under today's rider and the second of which arrived over C&D (yielding); creditable enough seasonal return off 9lb higher at Navan when a 5.5l eighth of 20, shaping as though he would improve for the run; in the mix. |
14/1 |

8th 3 (11) |
25th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 5f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Two wins last season, both gained at the main expense of members of this field; edged out God The Highness at Sligo; ended the campaign with a 1m6f Curragh victory over Quiz Test; 9lb higher now, same apprentice claiming 7lb. |
8/1 |

16th Oct 2025 Yielding 1m 6f 0y |
9st 1lb |
Off the mark when making much of running over slightly shorter at Sligo in August and pick of two runs since when non-staying fourth to Grann's Boy over 2m1f at Thurles last week; drop back in trip here should suit. |

Veteran with 2-39 Flat turf record; most recent success was in 2022; often placed, including over hurdles; 33-1 when putting in a satisfactory display at Sligo a month ago on his first Flat outing this year. |

Dual-purpose; 2-38 on turf; no win since 2022 and was pulled up over hurdles at Sligo 26 days ago on return from a break; hard to make a case for. |
14/1 |

12th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |
10st 12lb |
Flat winner is 0-26 over hurdles; off since heavy defeat in handicap chase at Thurles in October; has run well here on the Flat in the past but overall record fresh suggests he might need this after 194 days off. |

Second reserve; best efforts have come on good ground, including C&D second last season off 47; soft ground against him of late and similar scenario here. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 77y |

Wasn't beaten far here on penultimate start over further; didn't build on that at Sligo subsequently and tough race to break the maiden tag. |
