Maiden in all spheres after 34 starts, but was second at Downpatrick in June off 1lb higher (3m, good); sent off favourite up in grade at Wexford next time (2m7f, good), but was a modest third; well beaten over C&D latest; others preferred. |

Maiden in all spheres after 33 starts, but was second at Downpatrick on penultimate (3m, good), 0.5l behind Fr Gilligansvoyge; sent off favourite up in grade at Wexford last time (2m7f, good), but was a modest third; in the mix on his Downpatrick run, but his record is a concern. |

12st 0lb |
0-7 over fences but has run ok in defeat; shaped nicely when third in a C&D beginners' on penultimate and that form has since been boosted by the fourth Born Bright; go well back in handicap company with the cheekpieces worn last time left off. |

Two-time winning hurdler rated 110 in that discipline; 0-6 over fences and rated 7lb lower; not a bad run in a beginners' at Roscommon last month and cheekpieces could eke out more; go well for last year's winning yard. |

Hasn't run badly at times in six runs over fences, including when fourth of nine in a Tramore beginners' chase last time (2m6f, good); won here over hurdles on seasonal return/stable debut in May (2m4f, good to yielding) off 104; could go well. |

Rated 100 after five runs over fences; the latest of those was a positive third in a Roscommon handicap chase in August last year (2m6f, yielding) off 99; made winning stable debut in a Killarney handicap hurdle in May (2m4f, good to yielding); tailed off at Ballinrobe last time; most experienced of these but others probably more talented. |

Consistent gelding; placed on all four starts off a lower mark over hurdles since a handicap chase win off 98 at Listowel in September (2m4f, good to yielding), form has worked out well; back over fences now on his first run since January; never runs a bad race. |

Gained back-to-back wins in May, easily over fences at Limerick (2m7f, good, OR 77) and hurdles at Tramore (2m6f, good, OR 75); disappointed off his new mark in a 3m1f chase here 13 days ago when last of four and tailed off in the four-runner field; needs to bounce back. |

Is 3-34 over fences; veteran's recent form is solid, featuring a third placing over C&D last month and a third in a handicap chase at Tramore on New Year's Day; 0-30 record over hurdles is a significant negative; rider's claim is an asset. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 55y |
10st 5lb |
Fairly lightly raced overall; in very good form this year, winning a handicap hurdle at Clonmel in May and solid efforts since including over 3m here last time; drop back in trip is fine; handicapper has not been harsh on her and the jockey of the moment is booked to ride; ticks a lot of boxes |

23rd Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |

Breakthrough win at Clonmel (2m4f, good to yielding) in May; form of that has worked out with her pulling clear with Global Skies who won his next two; well-held second on soft next time and ran just okay when fifth at Limerick 21 days ago; capable of a big run but needs to reverse form with Set The Tone. |
