10st 11lb |
In the process of returning to form when taking a heavy fall over fences a month ago; how he reacts to that remains to be seen, but potentially dangerous off this mark; likes good ground. |

Has run some huge races in defeat over fences, but has been out of form for some time and no signs of a revival in two runs for this yard; needs to rediscover best. |

Veteran whose last win came over hurdles in April 2025 and others make more appeal today. |

4-39 over fences; shaped okay at Ballinrobe in May but lost form since and was beaten 23l over C&D on latest; 1lb wrong and others hold more pressing claims. |

Six-time winner, 4-38 over fences; chase mark has tumbled but good third at Ballinrobe (2m4f, good) in veterans race in May and decent run over hurdles at Sligo over inadequate trip; brought down at first at Kilbeggan last time; yard won this last two years. |

11st 2lb |
Won over fences at Kilbeggan before a good second in a 2m6f handicap hurdle at the Galway festival; the race might have come too soon when pulled up at that track four days later; poor on the Flat at Down Royal on next start and down the field in a chase at Listowel last time |

Three wins on the Flat include one at this venue, most recent win came in 2m4f Gowran handicap hurdle last October (soft); recent Flat form not that encouraging. |

Three wins on the Flat include here over 1m6f three years ago; below best under both codes of late, fair bit to find with Gaoth Chuil on recent Killarney effort. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won three times (2m2f, 2m4f) when trained in Ireland last summer; unplaced in three valuable handicap hurdles (2m4f-2m7f) for new trainer this spring; the drop back in trip for his chasing debut may not be in his favour. |

Won three consecutive handicaps last summer up to 2m4f for Donncha Duggan; some fine runs in defeat after including since switched to this yard; has to prove he stays this trip. |

Consistent results in Ireland this term featured three summer wins; not disgraced with midfield finish at the Cheltenham Festival (2m4f, soft) on debut for new stable but needs to improve on that bare form. |

Not heavily raced for his age with eight wins between all disciplines; however, he is vulnerable as a 12-year-old in such a competitive handicap; has usually shown his best form on a sound surface. |

Not heavily raced for his age with eight wins between all disciplines; was runner-up in a C&D claimer when last seen over hurdles and had one solid AW Flat run since; can go well fresh and is one to consider. |

Record of 2-18 over hurdles; soild efforts in three starts in this sphere this year (pulled-up in a chase); has to do more on these terms but could run well. |

Sole win in 35 starts over hurdles came first time out last year when he won C&D handicap by 10 lengths; lost form towards the end of last season; not a bad run here in June when mid-field behind subsequent dual Galway winner Timurshah. |
16/1 |
