6th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 193y |
10st 13lb |
Bumper winner as a 4yo for former yard; 0-10 hurdling but just denied in C&D maiden a year ago; form this year not as good, fading tamely in mares' handicap at Galway last week; declining mark but still looks to have a bit to find. |
9/1 |

29th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y |
10st 7lb |
Useful form for previous yards; still early days with Charles Byrnes and perhaps went off too fast in maiden company at Kilbeggan (2m2f, good; favourite); often leads and dominating a field of this size won't be easy. |

Bumper winner for Peter Fahey and some solid efforts over flights last summer for Gavin Cromwell; cheekpieces tried here after an okay run at Downpatrick last time; should be a player in a tricky contest. |

11st 7lb |
Well-bred bumper winner was set a stiff task on hurdles debut in a Grade 2 mares' hurdle at Sandown (2m4f, soft) and came up short; off since but will like this ground and this obviously a lot easier; greatly respected. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 173y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Thrown into a tough race for her hurdle debut but she's from a top Irish yard and showed lots of promise in bumpers, winning at Punchestown (2m, good) in October before a creditable Listed second at Navan (2m, yielding); this half-sister to 2m4f/3m1f Grade 1 chase winner Spillane's Tower could relish the step up in trip and she's firmly in calculations. |

11st 5lb |
Bumper winner; runner up twice from seven starts in maiden hurdles and rated 108; beaten just 2.75l on penultimate at Ballinrobe; not as good at Roscommon latest but capable of better and she holds leading claims. |

29th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 4f 53y |
11st 7lb |
Bumper winner in 2023; 2024 never went to plan but has improved this season, with latest second at Ballinrobe her best yet (keeping on over 2m2f, soft); considered. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
12th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 215y |
11st 7lb |
Bumper winner; failed to complete in two hurdle starts towards the end of last year but signs she's getting her act together in two runs this summer; built on promising Tipperary return when runner-up in a 2m4f Wexford maiden hurdle last time out; should be involved if she handles the drop back in trip but unproven on slow ground. |

Finished 3.75l behind Hillhead Runner when third in a Tipperary bumper in October; well below that level in two starts since and was beaten 34l in a 2m4f bumper here on latest; best watched on hurdling debut. |

Tongue-tie goes on following wide margin defeats in a bumper and three maiden hurdles; unlikely to find sufficient improvement. |

First reserve; well beaten in sole start in a bumper; 80-1 and unseated at fifth on hurdles debut here (2m4f, good); tailed off at Cork last time when 250-1; impossible to fancy. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |
10st 11lb |
Went close at Down Royal (3m1f, good to yielding) off 2lb lower in Oct' but failed to build on that in two runs on soft afterwards; made a promising seasonal return at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good to yielding) when a 7.75l fifth of 14; pulled up at Roscommon last time; blinkers go on now. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y |

Went close at Down Royal (3m, good) off this mark in October but failed to build on that in two runs afterwards on soft; more promising was her return at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good to yielding) when a 7.75l fifth of 14 back from a break; 6.25l behind Katie's Casper that day but entitled to improve over that seasonal return. |

11st 12lb |
Cosy Ffos Las winner (2m4f, good to soft; from 2lb lower); it isn't easy to quantify that form, but she ran as well (if not slightly better based on RPRs) when runner-up in returning cheekpieces at Uttoxeter latest; back up in trip with Rian Corcoran's services retained; chance. |

26th Jul 2026 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |

Breakthrough winner in five-runner handicap at Ffos Las (2m4f, good to soft) in May and she was in contention when brought down three out at Worcester (extended 2m4f, good) last month; both were under Rian Corcoran; cheekpieces (tried three runs back) return; one to consider. |

Three seconds from eight starts over fences, and just run out of it close home in Killarney handicap seven weeks ago; mark went up 4lb to 106 after that; apparent second-string for Gavin Cromwell, but has her chance. |

Won a 2m4f maiden hurdle at this track last year; hit and miss since but her best chase run came in a C&D handicap two starts ago; well below that level since and has to rebound. |

Second runner for these connections; course hurdle winner over 2m4f last year, was hit and miss in that sphere after; both chase runs have been here with best run a second over C&D last time; up 2lb and in grade but can be a player. |

Won well at Gowran 11 days ago in the inaugural race in this series; 10lb rise is not unreasonable; potentially a filly who could continue on the upgrade; room for improvement in her jumping. |
