10st 7lb |
Ex-Irish maiden; made a quite encouraging stable debut when fourth of seven at Market Rasen (nearly 2m2f, good; hood refitted) in July but needs to build on that performance on this first start for three months. |
12/1 |

0-10 over hurdles for Philip Dempsey in Ireland but signed off with pretty good fifth of 16 at Fairyhouse (2m, yielding) in October; has hood refitted for stable debut; worth a glance in the betting. |

Down Royal handicap hurdle winner last year (2m2f, good) is 0-5 chasing, encouraging Thurles debut effort yet to be built on, unseating at the first over today's C&D last month; may yet improve but opposable for now. |

Good ground hurdles winner shaped with mild promise on chase debut in Thurles beginners' (18.5f, good to yielding) in October; pulled up and tailed off next two starts on heavy; of interest if the ground has good in the description. |

Progressive mare won handicaps at Ballinrobe and Kilbeggan earlier this term, and added a further win with career-best in taking 2m6f Galway conditions event early this month, produced late to win going away; clearly in terrific form, although drop back to 2m may not be ideal. |

1st 8 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 129y |
10st 7lb |
Back to back handicap hurdle wins at Ballinrobe and Kilbeggan earlier this term; fine effort to finish a 2.75l third of 20 off 126 in the Tribes here last month; beaten favourite on the Flat at Tramore sole start since; mares' allowance and rider's claim bring her into the picture. |
8/1 |

3rd 8 |
13th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
10st 9lb |
Has been in the form of her career this season, winning handicap hurdles at Ballinrobe and Kilbeggan before finishing a close third at Galway; now rated 129 in that sphere so has to be respected on Flat debut over a trip that will suit. |

His sole win (from 36 attempts) came over hurdles in 2023 and he's 0-7 over fences; however, he was an encouraging third from the front at Worcester (2m, good) three weeks ago and could give another good account. |
5/6 |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Disputing the lead before penultimate-fence fall at Sedgefield (2m, good) this month and subsequently belied 50-1 odds when third off his basement Flat mark but his only from 35 starts was gained over hurdles in 2023, and his overall profile remains unconvincing. |
14/1 |

12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |

Sole win was in 2023; overall record is now 1-34 and he has a lot to prove back on the Flat but he was bang there when falling two out over fences at Sedgefield on Wednesday. |

Won a Wexford handicap hurdle last summer off 78 (2m1f, good); bagged a handicap chase win at Tramore in May (2m6f, good); bounced back from a poor run at Wexford when third of 13 at Tramore last time (2m6f, good); reverts to hurdles now off a 12lb lower mark but was beaten 21l at Wexford when last seen in this sphere. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |

Bolted up over C&D here in May (Fr Gilligansvoyage second) but pulled up in follow up bid off 5lb higher at Wexford; needs to bounce back but boasts course form figures of 221 so that's not impossible. |
15/2 |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y |

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. |

Maiden hasn't troubled the judge in three runs since return from a 527 day layoff; jumping often an issue, though she was hampered when unseating 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. |

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. |
