22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Very five-time winning useful hurdler, rated 147, goes on any ground; ran to form when 3l second on chase debut at Galway (2m2f, good) 25 days ago; was well held by Daddy Long Legs over hurdles at Limerick in July but was off a break and now has the benefit of a chase run under his belt; big chance. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 12lb |
Very useful over hurdles (5-18, rated 147); goes on any ground and should be sharper for his latest run in a Grade 3 hurdle at Limerick after an 87 day break; every chance he'll take to this game on breeding; big player on chase debut. |

11st 0lb |
Nine wins in all spheres with the last of those coming in a Thurles handicap chase last December; poor the last twice over hurdles including behind Happy Jacky at Cork; has to rebound |

11st 6lb |
Flat winner who is now useful over hurdles and fences; runner-up over 2m4f at Clonmel before not staying 3m at Cork; exposed but shouldn't be far away. |

30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 75y |
11st 5lb |
Found things too demanding in the Grand Annual, and has been campaigned ambitiously overall since a Fairyhouse beginners' win last October; will be more at home in this company. |
12/1 |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Won on chase debut at Fairyhouse (2m, yielding) in October and very creditable second in quality novice over this C&D (good to soft) 13 days later; well beaten both starts since but they have been on testing ground; could bounce back and play a leading role now he's back on a better surface. |

16th Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Bumper and dual hurdle winner is rated 121 in that sphere though disappointed when last seen in 2025; makes chasing debut for a new yard and is respected but ran poorly on her only run at this track last year. |
6/1 |

27th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 2lb |
Two-time winner over hurdles; won off 113 at Killarney (2m1f, good) last August; showed signs of returning to form when falling when still going well off this mark back at Killarney latest; stays this far and can go well if that fall hasn't left a mark. |
11/2 |

21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 0y |
10st 12lb |
Easy winner of this 12 months ago off 9lb lower and just the three starts since, one of those behind Brighterdaysahead; returned with a 10l defeat to Bowensonfire at Bellewstown and ran better at Galway, albeit looking a hard ride at times in the new cheekpieces (soon discarded); should feature. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 175y |
11st 1lb |
Won this last year off a 3lb lower mark; some good hurdle runs in defeat after while also won over fences; beaten 10l by Putapoundinthejar at Bellewstown last time but is 7lb better off so a player. |
14/1 |

4th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 40y |
11st 6lb |
Handicap chase winner three starts ago; won a big handicap hurdle at last season's Galway festival; probably Ballybrit-bound again; Fiver Friday appears to be the stable's main hope. |

Dual Flat winner in 2022 and added a maiden hurdle last year; nothing of note this year until signs of a return to form when a staying-on third over 2m at Tramore. |

3rd 7 (5) |
15th Aug 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

Dual Flat winner in 2022 and added a maiden hurdle last year; just okay Flat handicap runs this season before tailed off effort over hurdles at Ballinrobe; beaten 22l at Fairyhouse last time; others preferred. |

11st 12lb |
Yet to get his head in front this summer but fine efforts in defeat in the Tribes at Galway and when beaten 1l over 2m1f at this venue behind the subsequent Galway hurdle winner; creeping up the weights and hasn't been shaping as though this longer trip is what he wants. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 175y |

Dual-purpose winner won his last hurdle race over C&D last October; ran a solid race from the front to be third to Putapoundinthejar at Bellewstown last time; 3lb better off and cheekpieces added; chance. |

3rd 10 |
4th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 40y |

Versatile sort won over hurdles at Listowel in June but has failed to fire in that sphere twice since; returns to the Flat in a first-time visor; others arrive in better form. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 175y |
