11st 6lb |
Irish raider; 13-race maiden whose best effort came over hurdles when a close second at Tramore (2m5f, good) last August, but three attempts over fences have seen her pulled up twice and tailed off once; Sean Bowen booked and, while a return to better ground and handicap company may help, she still has plenty to prove. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y |
11st 4lb |
Held his form well after winning a Down Royal handicap last August (2m1f, good to firm); back from a break, he appeared to get outstayed by the front two over 2m3f at Cork; no match for an easy winner at Tramore; one of the main contenders here. |

Super consistent form in autumn; winner of a Down Royal handicap off 90 (2m2f, good to firm) before following that with three runner-up finishes at Listowel, Punchestown, and here at 2m-2m2f; has risen in handicap for not winning; tries this trip for first time; check market now back from a break. |

11st 4lb |
0-10 over hurdles for Philip Dempsey in Ireland but signed off with pretty good fifth of 16 at Fairyhouse (2m, yielding) in October; has hood refitted for stable debut; worth a glance in the betting. |

Maiden was third in consecutive handicaps over 2m1f at Wexford in July but has been below that level twice since, including at Gowran last week; needs more. |

4th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 50y |
11st 10lb |
Chased home a clear winner in a Limerick maiden in November (yielding) and has run encouragingly in Wexford handicaps over the summer on good ground, filling the frame twice; recent Bellewstown effort was a step backwards, but in the mix if at his best, although softer conditions would raise a doubt. |

Three-time Flat winner is 0-20 over hurdles but some decent efforts this year, including C&D third to Splendid Choice on penultimate (good) off this mark; never featured after slow start at Limerick on latest when claimer-ridden; senior rider now takes over and one to consider. |

Three-time Flat winner is 0-19 over hurdles; went close off 109 over C&D (gd-yld) last May; didn't jump well when not beaten far off this mark at Wexford (2m1f, good) on latest; cheekpieces go back on; claims if jumping better. |

Sole win came in 2m Clonmel mares' maiden in 2024; just bits and pieces of form last year, placed at Wexford and prospects when falling two out at Clonmel; absent since September and likely best watched on ground plenty soft for her. |

Maiden and most of her best form has come at Tramore, running well on chase debut there last October; should come on from seasonal debut effort and has run well here too; considered. |
12/1 |

5th 11 |
29th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |
10st 0lb |
Best two runs of her career have come here; beaten a head in 16.5f (good) handicap hurdle last August; 3.25l third in C&D handicap chase when last seen in October and 1lb lower now; could go well if ready after 232 day absence. |

9th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 7f 110y |

Best of her 11 hurdle runs have come here, beaten just a head in August (2m, good); lesser run at Listowel following that and tailed off at Clonmel last time when upped in trip; sometimes reluctant to line up but this track is a big positive for her chase debut. |

Sole win came over C&D in May off 89 (good); has generally run well since, most recently only caught late under a positive ride when third at Kilbeggan (second won next time); 2lb higher but every chance. |
9/2 |

3rd 7 |
9th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Held up to win a Wexford handicap hurdle by a neck off 89 in May (2m1f, good); similar tactics at that venue last twice, fifth of 14 and then a 15l fourth last time, where the winner got loose in the lead (just in front of Slea Head and Surviving Murmansk); can't discount. |
7/1 |

24th Jul 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 150y |

Off the mark over C&D in May off 89 and okay run back here early in the month off this mark but clearly needs to improve to play a major role. |

29th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 145y |

Comfortably doubled his hurdle score when winning at Hexham (2m, good) nine days ago, escapes a panalty for that success and Tom Midgley can claim his 3lb allowance here; another bold bid looks likely. |

Narrowly got off the mark at Limerick (2m4f, soft) and continued the winning thread over C&D (good) next time when 2.75l ahead of the rest, keeping on well; up 7lb more and riders' claim reduced since, but big chance of making it a three-timer. |
