17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y |
10st 11lb |
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. |

Maiden in all spheres after 32 starts but was second at Downpatrick last time over a similar trip; raised 1lb but is up in grade today, so needs a bit more. |

Dual hurdles winner for Gavin Cromwell; had been running some okay races over fences in her final runs for her former yard; back down to last winning mark now back over timber. |

5th Aug 2025 Yielding 2m 5f 155y |
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. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 155y |
11st 5lb |
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. |

After a layoff and on first start since rejoining stable, was back to winning ways, despite not jumping fluently, in 2m4f handicap hurdle at Killarney (gd-yld); raised 6lb and now steps up in grade; will need a career best to follow up. |

10st 11lb |
Point winner ran her best race under rules when a 3.5l third of 16 over 3m2f here last month (good, 40-1); the form of that race might not be trustworthy, though, as the race turned into a dash. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y |

Has shown glimpses of potential over hurdles and fences; however, was pulled-up on return last time at Limerick and has to improve hugely from that. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |

Yet to make an impact in ten hurdle/chase starts although best hurdles effort was at this course in April last year; disappointed when sent off the well-backed favourite for Killarney handicap chase in October; 235 days off. |

11st 7lb |
Consistent gelding over fences and hurdles, better as a chaser; placed on all three starts over hurdles since a handicap chase win at the Listowel festival; touched off at Limerick last time; up 3lb but still 12lb below his chase mark; strong contender. |

Consecutive unseats in maiden hunter chases but got round to finish third in Thurles handicap (21.5f, soft) last month, albeit 15l behind the winner; given a forceful ride when fourth at Wexford (19.5f, soft) 12 days later; each-way claims. |

11st 0lb |
Ran well when second at Kilbeggan in July but was still beaten 13l; outclassed on the Flat latest but this much more suitable and was a close second in a division of this race in 2023 off 5lb higher; place shout. |

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. |

10yo mare opened her account over hurdles at the 16th attempt at Clonmel in May (2m4f, good to yielding); distant second (winner DSQ) over 2m4f (soft) here off this 6lb higher mark last time; this ground suits better and she can continue to acquit herself well. |

Hurdle winner at this track and opened his chase account with a neck success at Kilbeggan three weeks ago; may have won by further without an error in the closing stages and 5lb rise looks workable. |
