2nd Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 160y |
11st 4lb |
Three-time Flat winner is 1-7 over timber, that win in a Punchestown maiden (2m1f, soft) last season; absent since poor run at Limerick over Christmas so watching brief advised, unless market speaks. |

9st 13lb |
Hurdles winner is 3-7 on turf on the Flat; deadheated at the Galway festival (8.5f, yielding) before two lesser runs over hurdles; returned to the Flat at the Curragh three weeks ago to bag another win (1m2f, yielding); up 9lb now but should be in the mix again. |

Dual-purpose sort was poor over hurdles last time but had deadheated at Galway (1m) on last Flat start; is just 1lb higher today and goes well with an ease in the ground so looks a big player. |

Has improved since finishing third at the Listowel festival, splitting Jasko De Dames and Drumgill; recorded his third chase win at Navan in December; up in grade here following a 9lb rise in the ratings; handles testing conditions. |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 130y |
10st 12lb |
Got his second chasing win when taking a C&D handicap in August by a short head (good), probably value for more (idled and rider misjudged finish line); raised to current mark for run at Listowel and not disgraced when a keeping on third (17.5f, yielding to soft); one of the likelier contenders. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 180y |
11st 7lb |
Better known as a smart four-time hurdles winner; good recent form when fourth in the Galway Hurdle off a mark of 132, roughly the same ability as Samui; also a capable Flat performer but his 81 rating makes him 23lb inferior to Samui in this sphere. |

Opened his account off a modest mark of 94 in a C&D handicap hurdle in October 2024; has now obtained a rating of 132 after recording his fourth handicap success at Killarney in May; seldom runs a bad race and was placed twice at last year's festival, third in the big amateur handicap and second in a handicap hurdle. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Galway festival winner in 2024 but hasn't matched that level since and has been well beaten on four of his five starts for this yard this year, latest when a 16l fourth to Mi Sueno over C&D last month; remains with plenty to find with that rival despite better terms. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Won at Galway (2m, good) in July 2024; downhill thereafter, ending time in Ireland competing on the Flat; third of five at Exeter (2m; 33-1) on second start for this trainer but tough to fancy on strength of his other two efforts. |

11st 7lb |
Irish challenger whose sole success came in a Limerick maiden on his hurdles debut in May 2024; placed five times last term and returns to this discipline after a couple of unsuccessful runs over fences this month; win record is offputting. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Sole success came in a Limerick maiden hurdle in May 2024; placed several times since and made a promising debut over fences when fourth of 12 at Wexford (2m, good to yielding) 16 days ago; should win races but up against a serious rival here. |

Predictably struggled in good-quality Irish Flat maiden last month and is now 0-30 under all codes; has much more realistic assignment now back in a low-grade handicap hurdle for new stable but still makes only limited appeal. |

4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 45y |

Comfortably justified favouritism at Punchestown last October (2m7f, good to yielding) when returned to fences, adding to his summer hurdles win at Galway; a long way below his best on heavy at Cheltenham in November; better at Leopardstown at Christmas; trainer has saddled the winner of this in two of the last three seasons; Aine O'Connor won it in 2017. |

One of two for yard; dual hurdles winner rated 10lb higher in that sphere; sole chase start resulted in a 3.5l win in a beginners' at Thurles (18.5f, gd-yld) in October; pulled up in hot handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse latest but unexposed over fences and could go well in first handicap chase. |

Potentially well handicapped relative to her best chase form; good form in that sphere last October when backing up a Sligo win with seconds at Tramore and Down Royal; might need the run, her first since out of her depth in a Grade 2 mares' chase at Cork last December; 13lb lower than her chase mark |
