10st 13lb |
Won two staying handicap chases on good ground in the first half of last season; ordinary form in recent months; addition of blinkerss failed to do the trick at Kilbeggan eight days ago; joint-favourite then, faded after making a lot of the running. |

Won two chases last year, including over C&D, but has failed to fire in three starts this year; drops in grade now, rider claims a handy 5lb and blinkers go on; could revive. |

Won two handicap chases at about 3m during the second half of last year (including beating Hascoeur Clermont off 107 at Cork) but needs to improve a fair bit on both runs this term, fading quite tamely at Roscommon last time. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y |

Won consecutive races over fences last year including here over 3m1f; best run since was back here, so could put two lesser runs behind him on return to this venue. |

Easy wins at Down Royal and Wexford (3m1f, gd) over fences last year and decent runs in defeat after; pulled up early at Wexford last month and bit to prove back over hurdles. |

11st 5lb |
Three wins over fences and rated 129 in that code; third in Midlands National here in July; 5-1 when fell in hurdle here two weeks ago, which was his first run over flights since early 2024. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |
11st 7lb |
Three-time chase winner, including at Killarney in May (3m2f, good to yielding) is 0-6 over hurdles so has a 24lb lower mark in this discipline; hasn't contested a hurdle race since 2024 and never for this yard so he looks like a huge danger to all off this mark but this trip looks tight for him. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 80y |
11st 0lb |
Wide-margin winner of a Listowel handicap chase last year and confirmed his progression when winning the Killarney National in May; even with his 9lb penalty, he was well below par at Roscommon since; others preferred. |

Has won over hurdles and fences at Kilbeggan; was a solid second at Down Royal but made a bad mistake there last time and ran below form; has to rebound after just four days. |

Mare likes good ground and has won over hurdles and fences at Kilbeggan; chase win was off 107 last summer and stuck to her guns when second over C&D in lower-grade contest last time. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 50y |

A win apiece over hurdles and fences, both at Kilbeggan on good ground; soundly beaten since his last win in August; this better ground will suit her but others make more appeal. |

Won twice over fences last September and not a bad chase run at Perth last time; poor on last hurdles run behind Rocky's Howya in March; others preferred. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Back-to-back wins over similar trips to this last September and on good or yielding ground that he's not had in his last four races; however, current wellbeing is an issue and so too the blinkers in which he was tailed off last time when first fitted. |
10/1 |

29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 4f 120y |

Back-to-back chase wins at Galway (2m7f, good to yielding) and this venue (3m, yielding) last September; best of five subsequent runs when afair sixth at Punchestown (2m7f, soft to heavy) in January; struggled over hurdles last time; first-time blinkers. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 100y |
11st 1lb |
Winning pointer attracted market support on return to Rules' here but faded into sixth, 19l behind the winner; might have needed that after a short break and steps up to a more suitable trip off 1lb lower; not discounted for local yard. |

0-11 over hurdles but has been in good form in point-to-points this year; has placed off higher marks in the past under Rules; could go well on first start for local yard. |

Durable veteran has won twice at this venue; back in form at Kilbeggan recently after a dismal spell that saw him fail to complete in four consecutive races; eight-time winner remains capable when on song. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 50y |

Might have appreciated the three month break when returning to some sort of form in a 3m1f handicap hurdle here last month; could run well but others look that bit more likely. |

Maiden posted a decent effort when was beaten 8l over C&D last time; down 2lb and can be involved. |

9th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 100y |

Maiden has yet to really make an impact in handicap chases; fifth and fourth the last twice but beaten 18l and 28l respectively; down another 2lb but might need a little bit more respite from the handicapper. |
