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. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Belatedly opened account with hard-fought success at Downpatrick (2m7f, good) in July, his 17th start over fences, but was just a respectable sixth over C&D (good) last month and needs to up his game today. |

19th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 5f 110y |
11st 9lb |
Two of three hurdles victories have come over C&D, including last time when winning off a mark of 109 (good); a pair of decent runs in defeat in prior chasing starts; he's in fine spirits at the moment and loves this track so has a lot going for him but softer conditions would pose a question. |
4/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 11lb |
Chasing the last twice, going close over 2m7f here and then a rallying third at Tramore (2m6f); won back-to-back handicap hurdles earlier this year but his mark took a knock and those recent chasing exploits were off much lower ratings; can still run well with a solid course record. |
3/1 |

15th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 4lb |
Gained back-to-back wins over hurdles in April/May, here off 88 (21.5f, yielding) and off 100 at Downpatrick (2m6f, good); now rated 109 over timber; denied by a head off lower chase mark by Thehairyfella on latest; up 3lb for that but good chance off 19lb lower chase mark. |

Sole hurdle win came here over 2m6f and his his best chase efforts have also been here; however, has been poor on last three starts and has to rebound in a big way. |

29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 185y |

Sole win came here in a 2m6f handicap hurdle off this mark in 2024 (good to yielding); reverts to hurdles following poor efforts in his last two runs; won't want the ground too soft. |

Rules record of 1-69 is a glaring negative but this veteran did run well to be fourth at Limerick nine days ago, finishing behind Cullenwaine. |

Just the one success from 68 starts under rules when landing the Bishopscourt Cup at Punchestown in 2023; good fourth in that race last month when sent off 100-1 but up against it here. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |

Sprang a 25-1 surprise in this race in 2023, his only success from 67 appearances on the track, placed eight times; moderate fifth here in 2024 and pulled up in last year's edition; should be better for a recent point run, but up against it at the age of 13. |

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. |

Dual point winner but achieved little in seven runs over hurdles; goes chasing with a good bit to prove and headgear is tried. |

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. |

8th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 6f 97y |

Maiden signed off for 2024 with placed efforts at Tramore (21.5f) and Downpatrick (2m6f) on good-good to yielding; disappointing efforts both starts in 2025; needs to bounce back. |

Maiden placed in three of last five runs in this sphere in 2024 (including at this venue); didn't take to chasing when pulled up at Downpatrick on return from 276 day break; needs to rebound back over timber. |

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. |
