8th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 120y |
11st 4lb |
Point and hurdles winner (here) ran a nice race over C&D on latest under a positive ride, beaten just 2.25l by Ballybrittas on her second chase start; the third from that race has since run well at Galway so she is interesting off just 2lb higher. |

Second runner for yard; point winner won a maiden hurdle at this track last August but was hit and miss in handicaps after; solid chase debut at Tramore behind a mare who won in Killarney last week; looks a player. |

Wexford maiden hurdle winner last August (2m1f, gd-yld); not a bad run in handicap hurdle at Clonmel latest; turns her hand to chasing now and pedigree suggests she'll take to this game; yard in form; interesting. |

Placed in two maiden hurdles last summer but this years form has been poor; third of 18 in a maiden hurdle at Cork (2m2f, good) last time, but he was 23l behind the winner; needs to build on that to get involved. |

Cocked her jaw at Kilbeggan last time and was pulled up; prior to that she finished third in a reasonable-looking Fairyhouse maiden hurdle; clearly a difficult ride but likely has the ability and from the right connections. |

Winners have emerged from the maiden hurdle in which she ran third at Fairyhouse (2m4f, soft) and this mare should have a deal more to offer; obvious contender. |

Has achieved his best form at this venue, namely when twice second (in a maiden and a handicap) in the first half of 2025; moderate form last summer; always behind at Down Royal on return from a break; appears to be the trainer's second string. |

One of two for yard; some fair efforts in defeat last year but pulled up on heavy ground when last seen in November at Fairyhouse; these conditions more suitable, capable off this mark and not dismissed dropped in grade. |

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. |

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. |

Four-time Flat winner ran well in a few maiden hurdles without winning, including at this track; however, has been well beaten on the Flat and in a h'cap hurdle lately so needs a return to best. |

Ordinary form until a much improved effort in a strongly run contest at Kilbeggan two weeks ago; could be a little more to come from him and rider bookings suggest he is the stable first-string. |
