10st 12lb |
Two hurdle wins came over shorter trips and off the mark chasing in 2m5f Kilbeggan handicap in May, following that up with good third in competitive 2m4f handicap at same track; clearly in good order and could go well here off 8lb lower hurdles mark. |

10st 7lb |
Made it third time lucky over fences when bolting up over C&D last month; 6lb rise for that 7l win seems reasonable and while this is more demanding, he's unexposed in this sphere and there could still be more to come. |

11st 7lb |
Relished good ground last summer when winning over hurdles at this course and Ballinrobe and ran well in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick off 110; unseated when in contention three out at Tramore on chase debut; clear of the third when no match for a warm favourite over C&D 16 days ago; could be hard to beat now. |

Three wins on the Flat and now 2-16 over hurdles after beating Becasse and Putapoundinthejar at Listowel; up 4lb, could feature again with Josh Williamson's claim. |

11st 6lb |
Dual-purpose gelding who is consistent in the main and he was returning from a lengthy break when never that competitive at Punchestown a month ago; perhaps a shade high in the weights, even if he can return to best. |

Killarney handicap hurdle winner in August (2m1f, good) off 113; fairly consistent hurdles/Flat form afterwards and recorded a third Flat win at Dundalk when last seen in December; this ground suits. |

11st 13lb |
Winner of a Sligo maiden hurdle in May last year (2m4f, good); beat precious few rivals in four beginners' chases to date; pulled up at Tramore when badly hampered at the first last time; others preferred. |

1-11 over hurdles and rated 100; tailed off in all three previous starts over fences and similar story last two starts in novice hurdles; lacks a recent run and others appeal more. |

14th Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 55y |
11st 12lb |
Dual bumper winner and maiden hurdle winner; lightly raced individual and unlikely they have got to the bottom of him yet; back from a five month break, but dangerous if the market gives the right signals. |

Smart bumper form including a defeat of Monday's Grade 1 winner Doctor Steinberg at Clonmel last March; not yet as good over hurdles, beaten twice since winning a Cork maiden on good ground last summer. |

5th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 61y |

Got off the mark in a C&D handicap in April and ran a solid race in defeat back here next time; below form over 2m at Ballinrobe since but can do better back here over this trip. |

Off the mark when making all off 5lb lower at Clonmel on penultimate (2m4f, yielding); beaten off revised mark back there latest; ran respectably both previous visits to this venue and drop to 2m might suit; not dismissed. |

Made a successful handicap debut at Ballinrobe in May (2m, good) and couldn't have given his true running back there two months ago; could yet prove himself worthy of this mark. |

22nd Jul 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 89y |

Promise in all three maiden hurdles starts before C&D success eight weeks ago on handicap debut; ability to handle this track is an asset; capable of a good showing. |

27th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 57y |
11st 12lb |
Handicap debutant has shown promise in all three of his maiden hurdles at 2m-2m3f; ran respectably here in a 16.5f bumper a year ago; opening mark looks fair and he is worth a market check on return from 263 days off. |
