10st 8lb |
Three wins apiece over hurdles and on the Flat; best recent hurdle run came over 3m at this venue last month; would have a squeak if returning to that form. |

11st 12lb |
Enjoyed a purple patch last summer, winning three handicap hurdles on the bounce at 2m5f-2m7f on good ground; generally struggled since and his latest two runs have been fairly dismal; returns to chasing for the first time since 2024, when he didn't set things alight in three beginners'. |

Completed a hat-trick of handicap hurdle wins during a short time frame last August; went up an aggregate 23lb for victories at Wexford, Ballinrobe and Tramore; has tended to struggle since then; fair fourth at Bellewstown early last month, out of the money at Downpatrick and last week at Galway. |

Safely held in 2m4f chase here last month and now 0-9 under rules; back up in trip and fitted with tongue-tie for this return to hurdling; considered only if lively in the betting. |

11st 9lb |
Maiden hurdle winner last year who bounced back to form with second at Wexford (2m1f, good) in May; backed that up when beaten 6l into fifth at Listowel when out of the weights; below form when beaten favourite at Wexford lto; makes chase debut and appeals as the type with more to give. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 55y |

Maiden winner whose standout effort in handicaps when C&D second in May; didn't land a blow in better-class Listowel contest on latest but respected back in grade here. |

Maiden winner who appeared to be going nowhere until a revived second of 14 at Wexford (2m1f, good to yielding); nudged up 2lb for that but a greater worry would be that this is a better race. |

10st 13lb |
Won a couple of Fairyhouse chases last year (2m5f/3m) and handles goodish ground; last month's hurdling fourth probably a prep for this; can race close to the pace. |

11st 3lb |
Just held on when scoring at Punchestown (2m3f, gd-yld) in June off 92; weakened late over 2m4f off 3lb higher at Wexford latest; not sure this step up in trip will suit on that evidence. |

Went close over C&D in May and off the mark under this rider off 92 at Punchestown last month (Warm In Gorey third); raised another 3lb but should go well again for local yard. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 12y |
10st 0lb |
Has run well the last twice since returning from a break; particularly when pulling 25L clear with one other when second at Wexford last time; raised 6lb for that but she appears to have responded well to the application of blinkers and she may get her day in the sun here; jockey has plenty of point-to-point experience. |

11st 4lb |
9-1 when due to reappear from an absence here on Wednesday only to get loose before the start; 0-15 over hurdles and inconsistent in Ireland, but she ran the odd decent race there; not dismissed. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
0-15 over hurdles and inconsistent when trained in Ireland but her second of 11 at Sligo (2m4f, good to yielding) in the autumn was a good effort; makes stable debut after 284-day absence; market may guide. |

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

Back-to-back handicap chase winner at Clonmel in October; unable to take advantage of lower hurdles mark in four recent runs but fair third of 18 at Punchestown (3m, good) on latest; big player again despite inability to win over timber to date a concern. |
6/1 |
