10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 60y |
11st 12lb |
Point winner who posted a useful RPR in winning a Sligo bumper; beaten 24l and 16l in two runs over hurdles, which were backward steps; has been off for 11 months, but that might not matter all that much and it's still early days for him. |

17th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 140y |
11st 12lb |
Point-to-point winner who readily won 2m2f Sligo bumper in May (good); weakened quickly before last on hurdling debut over 2m5f (good to yielding) at Tipperary last month; has missed four intended engagements since (twice due to ground); back in trip here and major chance if reproducing his bumper form. |

16th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
12st 0lb |
Out of sorts for his handicap hurdling debut at Punchestown in October when last seen over timber but has previously finished runner-up in a Tramore maiden hurdle (2m1f, good); Flat return at Limerick when third was encouraging for his chances here. |

25th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 190y |
10st 2lb |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 20y |
8st 7lb |
Last turf win in May 2022; been running okay this year without really threatening to win; stayed on strongly for third from out of the clouds at Bellewstown on Tuesday but 8lb wrong here so probably up against it. |

3rd 14 (9) |
25th Aug 2026 Yielding 0m 7f 195y |
8st 11lb |
Last turf win in May 2022; been running well without threatening this year before two poor runs in June; now with his owner after almost three months off; best watched. |

11th 18 (8) |
11th Jun 2026 Soft 1m 1f 0y |
8st 10lb |
2-34 on turf, last turf win in May 2022; been running fine this year without really threatening to win; placed at Gowran Park (1m, good) two starts ago; well held ten days ago; no obvious reason why he'd warrant support off same mark. |

Four-time winner over shorter trips and only just denied over 2m at Thurles on final start last season; recent hurdle run should have put him straight and not one to rule out. |

9th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |
10st 6lb |
Dual-purpose maiden has yet to make an impact in handicap hurdles, hanging badly right on home turn at Wexford last time; hard to be confident in, although Danny Mullins booking a positive. |

3rd 4 |
31st May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 50y |
11st 3lb |
0-7 over hurdles and rated 94; has shown ability in maiden hurdles but the closest she's got to the winner was when beaten 6.75l into third of 9 at Sligo (2m4f, good) last time; should be sharper for that first run back after a break but steps into the unknown here trip wise; others appeal more. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
12th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |
11st 4lb |
Rated 94 after six runs over hurdles, the best of which was a 10l second over 16.5f (good) here last July; off since below par run at Tramore last August; place chance if fit after break. |

17th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 140y |
11st 4lb |
Runner-up in a 2m2f Sligo maiden last month (good), the best of five attempts over timber; possibly didn't stay 2m5f at same track on latest; back in trip here with place claims. |

17th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 140y |
10st 11lb |
Fourth foal; dam placed bumpers/2m6f hurdle, closely related to 2m6f hurdle winner What's Up Britta, half-sister to smart 2m4f-3m hurdle/chase winner Dedigout; promise when placed in point-to-points and in all three bumpers, including here; respected now switched to hurdles, getting all the allowances. |

22nd Jul 2025 Yielding 1m 7f 119y |
11st 7lb |
Promise in point-to-points and in both starts in bumpers; beaten 7l when fourth of 10 at Tramore on latest in May; place claims at least in first time hood and tongue tie combination (ran well in hood at Cork in March). |
