Three-time winner over hurdles; creditable second on recent Flat debut at Ballinrobe, though beaten 8l in a race of lower standard than this; now has to take on younger rivals and will need to find plenty of improvement. |

10st 6lb |
Dual hurdle winner has won on the level at this track; however, his recent form has been poor and the blinkers will have to spark a major revival. |

Added a second hurdles win at Kilbeggan last summer (2m, good) off this mark; beaten 30l+ in all four runs this season (two over fences); drop into 0-100 category for the first time since his win is the one smidgen of hope. |

0-8 over hurdles and 0-3 as a chaser; well behind At The Oche at Uttoxeter last time when the new cheekpieces made little difference. |

26th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Maiden; got in on the act in handicap hurdles but he's not bred for fences and it's showing, having departed early on his first attempt and always behind next time; reservations for now in this discipline. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Competitive in handicap hurdles but he's not bred for fences and unseated early on his first attempt at Bangor (2m1f, good; 8-1); likely best watched on the back of that. |

Win came at Gowran (2m4f, soft) in October off 86; safely held next two starts, but fair run here over an inadequate 2m last time when 4.75l fifth of 13, best work late on; merits consideration back up in trip. |

Got off the mark in a Sligo handicap in June but has struggled a bit off a significantly higher mark since; not a bad chasing debut last time but needs more back to hurdles. |

10st 7lb |
Kilbeggan maiden hurdle winner last year (2m3f, good to yielding) returned from an absence with a solid third at Cork for new stable; found to be clinically abnormal at Kilbeggan latest when below-par; good chance if in full of her health; tongue tie on. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 200y |

Won a maiden hurdle over slightly further at this track last year for the late Kevin Prendergast; solid third at Cork on return; should have improved from that and be involved off the same mark. |

Won a 19.5f Kilbeggan maiden hurdle (gd-yld) for the late Kevin Prendergast in July 2024; has been off since a below par run at Tramore just under a year ago; might need this first run for Ross O'Sullivan. |

Three-time hurdles winner on good to yielding; finished 0.75l behind Spick And Span at Clonmel (2m4f, yielding) before stepping up in trip at Tipperary last time to record a very easy victory (23.5f, good to yielding); up 7lb now and drops back in trip. |

Dual hurdles winner is now 7lb below last winning mark; won at Ballinrobe in July last year (2m1f, good to yielding); winner of a beginners' chase here in March over extended 2m; out of form following that; modest third at Ballinrobe last time (2m6f, soft). |

Two hurdle wins include 2m2f handicap here last summer off 103, more recently won Clonmel beginners' chase in March; recent hurdles form however leaves her with plenty to find. |

Three-time Flat winner yet to score over flights; best recent effort when a close third in a 2m Tramore handicap hurdle in May; needs to bounce back from an ordinary effort in a Downpatrick maiden hurdle last month. |

3rd 1 |
14th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |
11st 12lb |
Three-time Flat winner; 0-9 as a hurdler but a repeat of his third in a Tramore handicap two runs back shouldn't see him far away; beaten about 11l in another handicap here last time. |

22nd Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 200y |

Maiden has been consistent in defeat on last three starts; beaten 6l over 2m5f at Sligo last time and this shorter trip may suit better; one to consider. |
