Won over hurdles at this meeting last year and added a chase win at Tramore last time over 2m6f; the runner-up then has won since, so should be capable of going well off a 5lb higher mark. |

Two good runs in beginners' chases last October and could be all the sharper for her recent run over hurdles; this mark shouldn't be beyond her. |

Debut point winner got off the mark over hurdles when successful over C&D (good) in July off 78; unable to go in again off revised mark in two subsequent starts here and at Downpatrick; creditable efforts over fences when last seen in October. |

Got off the mark over hurdles at Wexford on return from a break in May last year (2m1f, good) and second in similar event after; yielding to soft ground unlikely to his liking when always behind at Thurles when last seen in Nov'; not discounted. |

Both Flat wins last season were gained on soft ground; tailed off at the Curragh in May; no impression over hurdles last time; not one of the stronger contenders. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 165y |

Two-time Flat winner; 1-18 over hurdles but that win came in August 2023; remains 1lb above that sole success and ordinary effort on the level on return from break on latest; others appeal more. |

Consistent and holding form well enough in handicaps; beaten around 6l off this mark the last twice, at Down Royal (2m4f, good) and Wexford (2m1f, gd-yld) when wearing first-time cheekpieces (retained); step back up to this trip should suit; in the mix again. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
10st 9lb |
One of two for trainer; maiden has been consistent in handicaps; runner-up at Tramore off this mark in November (2m5f, soft); below that when a beaten favourite at Down Royal next time (2m4f, yielding), finishing a distant third; another good effort when fourth back there last time; maybe the cheekpieces can get a bit more from him. |

Maiden has been consistent in handicaps over the last year; not his best run when a beaten favourite over a bit further here last time but can go closer if improving from that. |

Dual bumper winner in France; not a bad attempt on sole effort over fences at Downpatrick in September when third (2m2f, good); modest improvement over poor seasonal return when sixth at this track earlier this month (2m1f, good); enters handicap chase company for the first time. |

Won a beginners' at Tramore on chase debut on his penultimate start but it was a low-key run when sent off favourite for a handicap hurdle at Wexford last week; workable mark if he can bounce back (went close off mark of 100 last summer) and return to this sort of trip will probably help. |

Underwhelming in opening three handicap starts, but was well backed at Downpatrick in August and landed the odds (2m2f, good); ran well off revised mark back there over the same distance when third; stepped up in trip at Clonmel last time and was sent off favourite again but didn't get past the second; should be thereabouts with a clear round. |

Clearly more expected of her over C&D last month when 4-1 but beaten 23l by Chosen Shant (good); not helped by jumping errors that day; beaten a long way on penultimate C&D start as well; longstanding maiden who went close at Tipperary in May (2m1f, good to yielding); she will put it all together someday. |

Point-to-point winner; not a bad effort when an 8.75l fifth of 15 on handicap debut at Tramore latest; drop backs in trip and handles most ground; place claims off the same mark if building on that. |

Wexford specialist with both of her wins coming there, the most recent of which was in May off 81 (2m1f, good); again ran well there last time when a 3.5l third (2m1f, good to yielding); remains 9lb above last win but she is in good form |

Second reserve; couldn't take advantage of a 7lb lower chase mark here last month when a close third of 12 (2m, good); returned to hurdles at Cork last time when a well beaten fifth (2m1f, good); she likes this track with both of her wins coming here so not discounted if getting a run. |
