Dual chase winner has run well in defeat at this track; however, was pulled-up on his last chase run and below form over hurdles since so others preferred. |

Two wins over fences; just 1-34 over hurdles, but placed many times; touched off over 2m4f at Killarney this time last year; quiet so far this season and would prefer farther. |

Is 2-12 over hurdles and rated 99; ran to an RPR of 111 when a 13.75l fifth of 11 on his chase debut in a beginners' at Wexford (19.5f, good), fading late on after making most of the running; worth a go at this shorter trip on that evidence; place claims. |

Winless from 15 tries over hurdles; respectable efforts without threatening the last twice at Wexford; related to winning chaser O'Faolains Lad so perhaps this discipline can unlock more from him. |

Not as good as Star Artist over hurdles; been offering more on the Flat, appreciating the step up to this trip when having Star Artist behind in Constitution Hill's Kempton race last time; handicaps will likely be her time to shine after this. |

Modest maiden hurdler; fared best of the rest behind easy winner at Wolverhampton (8.5f) last week on Flat debut, shaping as if this longer trip will suit; needs big improvement on form, however. |

10st 9lb |
18-race maiden over hurdles; C&D third 13 months ago was one of her better efforts but well below that level since returning from a break, including over fences; Darragh O'Keeffe sticks with her despite a moderate Wexford run; first-time tongue-tie. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 55y |

Family horse has won thrice over fences; has handled Tramore, so he might be okay around here; hurdling off lower marks lately and comes here in good shape. |

3rd 7 |
16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 85y |
11st 7lb |
Two wins last season included one here over 2m7f (yielding) off 4lb lower; has also won a chase here and is 2-3 at this venue; should be sharper for latest run after break over an inadequate trip, but probably not much wriggle room off this mark. |

0-10 over hurdles but has shown glimpses of ability; now 15lb lower than when a remote fourth at Leopardstown (2m4f, yielding) in March; not a bad run at Tramore latest and this shorter trip might suit; may outrun likely odds. |

He's won here over hurdles and he broke his Flat duck at Redcar (1m6f, good to firm) recently; he's just 3lb higher today and the longer trip may suit; could be in the mix. |

Dual hurdle winner since joining Iain Jardine in the autumn and a very respectable fourth of 13 on the Flat at York (2m, good to firm) a fortnight ago; contests this easier race from the same mark; must be considered. |

Some good form over hurdles, including a win at Hexham (2m, good) last month; shaped when fifth in this code at Hamilton (1m3f, good) in May as though he could do with a longer trip, and he gets it today; interesting. |

No wins from eight but the best of those runs came at this track in a maiden on her penultimate start when a 9.25l third of 10 (2m6f, good to yielding); never featured when stepped back into handicap company at Cartmel last month (2m6f, soft); place-chance. |

Low-mileage 7yo; well beaten when upped to 3m1f for handicap debut in May but fared much better when third in Tramore maiden (2m6f, good to yielding) last time and further progress is possible on this handicap return. |
