24th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 2f 194y |
9st 1lb |
Was well beaten in three Flat maidens in 2024; over hurdles since, winning a Kilbeggan handicap last August; others appeal more. |

11st 7lb |
Won off 1lb higher at Kilbeggan in August (2m, good to yielding); no major impact in five starts since; eighth of 18 at Leopardstown (2m3f) in March on soft to heavy ground; may improve for better ground here. |

Won off 1lb lower at Kilbeggan in August (2m, good to yielding); no major impact in four starts since, but was staying on well when sixth of 18 at Punchestown last time (2m1f, yielding); withdrawn due to unsuitable ground last month for soft to heavy ground at Thurles, so may want ground to dry out here. |

Sole win from 44 starts came in a hurdle race here last August; Flat form is unconvincing; may have needed the run over hurdles here in May. |

Breakthrough win came over C&D last August off 4lb lower; below best on Flat and over hurdles in three starts since; off since poor AW effort in November; likely to need this run. |

29th Aug 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 190y |
11st 10lb |
Sole win came over C&D in May off 89 (good); has generally run well since, most recently only caught late under a positive ride when third at Kilbeggan (second won next time); 2lb higher but every chance. |
9/2 |

9th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Held up to win a Wexford handicap hurdle by a neck off 89 in May (2m1f, good); similar tactics at that venue last twice, fifth of 14 and then a 15l fourth last time, where the winner got loose in the lead (just in front of Slea Head and Surviving Murmansk); can't discount. |
7/1 |

24th Jul 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 150y |

Off the mark over C&D in May off 89 and okay run back here early in the month off this mark but clearly needs to improve to play a major role. |

27th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Point winner; sent off a favourite for her only handicap start here in April, only to fall; has come down in the ratings; respectable form at Kilbeggan on his last two starts; may again find a few too good. |
7/1 |
|
4th 1 |
9th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y |

Point winner has found it tough since racing under Rules; she has been well behind in her three recent starts at this venue at 15.5f-2m3f; she was sent off a warm order for her only handicap start at Bellewstown in April off 109 when she fell; can do better back in handicap company. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 200y |

Beginning to look exposed after eight defeats over hurdles and beaten 16l over C&D two weeks ago when one of the favourites for a maiden; usual hood retained but the tongue-tie now left off. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Irish raider; 13-race maiden whose best effort came over hurdles when a close second at Tramore (2m5f, good) last August, but three attempts over fences have seen her pulled up twice and tailed off once; Sean Bowen booked and, while a return to better ground and handicap company may help, she still has plenty to prove. |

Got off the mark in a Kilbeggan handicap hurdle in May and a solid run in a Cartmel chase since; 5lb higher than for his win and is up in grade too, but can run well. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Irish raider who didn't fare too well in four attempts over fences previously, but got off the mark over hurdles at Kilbeggan (2m3f, good to yielding) last month at the 28th attempt under rules; not an obvious candidate to follow up, over fences. |

11st 6lb |
Maiden who looks capable of minor success judged on a pair of seconds in handicap hurdles at Clonmel in March and May last year; signed off 2025 with two fair runs in handicap chases; lack of a recent run is a possible negative. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 219y |

Went close in handicap hurdles at this venue in March and May; place chance on that basis; should be better for the experience of his first chase start at Tramore two weeks ago. |
8/1 |

9th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Pulled up on point debut before a decent 6l fourth at Bartlemy; a couple of decent runs over hurdles, particularly when beaten a head at Clonmel in May off 98 (2m3f, good); recent runs leave a bit to be desired, but not ruled out on chasing debut. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y |

Beaten a long way in five maiden hurdle starts but his run at Wexford on handicap debut was a bit better when a 15.5l fifth of 11 (16.5f, good to yielding), had Surviving Murmansk behind and Splendid Choice close in front; needs a big step forward; declared for Sligo on Thursday. |
