2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
1-25 strike-rate; runner-up to Burgundy Man over C&D (soft) last October; underwhelming in two starts this year, beaten 47l at Downpatrick (3m, good) 19 days ago; blinkers are now added. |
7/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 150y |
10st 11lb |
Sole win came over C&D last year off 3lb lower; was hit and miss since but can improve from recent comeback at Cartmel when beaten 15l; a player. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Had a below-par Defence Witness behind when a C&D third off today's mark last June, and belatedly off the mark next time out back in Ireland; can go well after a break without necessarily being able to threaten a win. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |
11st 3lb |
3-15 over hurdles but yet to score from five starts over fences and is rated 26lb lower; made an adequate seasonal return at Kilbeggan (3m2f, good to yielding) and should be better equipped to exploit his chase mark now; interesting, especially if market support arrives. |
10/1 |

7th 6 |
21st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 180y |
11st 6lb |
3-15 over hurdles but remains a maiden over fences after four runs and rated 25lb lower; ran okay off this mark at Tramore last August but lacks a recent and is best watched unless the market speaks. |

21st Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Irish raider; reverts to hurdling after running reasonably well in a recent Downpatrick chase (2m7f, good) but has a modest strike-rate (1-23) and is very inconsistent; refitted visor replaces cheekpieces. |
10/1 |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 150y |

Sole hurdles win came at this track in October 2024 off 4lb higher; was well beaten back over fences here last time and has to do much better. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 0y |
11st 3lb |
Somehow, the veteran has found top form at the ripe age of 13, three wins over the summer include at Tramore and most recently over 3m2f at Kilbeggan a week ago, winning handily; up 7lb for latest but in the form of his life and has to enter calculations. |
11/2 |

1st 10 |
21st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 180y |
10st 11lb |
Somehow, the veteran has found top form at the ripe age of 13; won at Downpatrick in June off 72 (3m, good) and held form well when placed twice at Wexford over 2m4f/3m1f; landed a third career success when an easy winner at Tramore last time (2m6f, good); up 6lb for that but has to be on the shortlist considering his form. |
5/1 |

1st 12 |
14th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |
10st 5lb |
Veteran; won at Downpatrick in June off 3lb lower and has held form well since; weakened late at Wexford last time (24.5f, good); drops in trip and was runner up to Menas Miracle here in June; chance. |

0-11 over hurdles and 0-7 over fences, though was chasing the winner when unseating late on over C&D in October; could go well. |

14th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 150y |
11st 10lb |
Dual point winner but achieved little in seven runs over hurdles; goes chasing with a good bit to prove and headgear is tried. |

10th Jun 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y |

Two wins in points early in his career; nothing in his hurdles form to suggest he can make his presence felt; pulled up at Cork last month. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
9-1 when due to reappear from an absence here on Wednesday only to get loose before the start; 0-15 over hurdles and inconsistent in Ireland, but she ran the odd decent race there; not dismissed. |
15/2 |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
0-15 over hurdles and inconsistent when trained in Ireland but her second of 11 at Sligo (2m4f, good to yielding) in the autumn was a good effort; makes stable debut after 284-day absence; market may guide. |
8/1 |

24th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 11y |

Maiden has been in the frame several times over hurdles but has been well below her best last two starts in this sphere; has to rebound. |

Second reserve; sole success came between the flags; 0-13 over fences and no signs of a breakthrough success in recent runs; pulled up when last seen in July; well out of the handicap here and hard to fancy. |

Point-to-point winner extended Rules' record to 0-16 when slipping up in a Downpatrick chase latest; not easy to make a case for on return to hurdles. |
