22nd Aug 2025 Good 1m 6f 80y |
10st 0lb |
Hasn't added to 1m4f Bellewstown maiden win of last summer, albeit highly-tried on occasions, notably second in Group 3 at Newmarket; just three runs this term when well below best, second occasion in C&D conditions event in May; makes handicap debut off reduced mark but opposable. |

9th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y |

Campaigned in good company last year after a 1m4f Bellewstown maiden win; not beaten far in a Group 3 race at Deauville and similar in a Listed race at Longhamp before 5l second in a 1m4f Group 3 at Newmarket; has failed to reach the same level in two runs this term. |

11st 6lb |
Won off 4lb lower at Wexford in May (2m1f, gd-yld); has struggled off revised mark since and was beaten 13l on latest when fourth at Galway (16.5f, good); needs to find a bit more to score off this mark. |

Bumper winner who got his sole Flat win at the Galway festival two years ago; fine run back at Galway this year when second of 20 (2m1f, yielding); not a bad run at Killarney following that when behind Ragmans Corner and Pinot Gris but was well beaten behind a lot of these in the Irish Cesarewitch last time; needs more. |

11st 4lb |
Dual Flat winner for Dermot Weld; ran twice at the big recent meeting at Galway, predictably struggling in a Listed hurdle but then running okay over 1m4f; 0-5 as a jumper but was runner-up over C&D last month; chance. |
7/1 |

1st Aug 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 180y |
10st 0lb |
British raider; won twice on the Flat when trained by Dermot Weld (1-9 on turf); ran well in a Market Rasen maiden hurdle on penultimate; out of depth in Listed hurdle here earlier this week; this more realistic but difficult draw. |
22/1 |

Flat winner; 0-4 over hurdles and rated 103; 1.25l second in Market Rasen maiden hurdle 23 days ago (20.5f, good); cheekpieces go on but surely out of depth in this company; due to run 5.40 here on Monday. |

11st 7lb |
Better known as a smart four-time hurdles winner; good recent form when fourth in the Galway Hurdle off a mark of 132, roughly the same ability as Samui; also a capable Flat performer but his 81 rating makes him 23lb inferior to Samui in this sphere. |

Opened his account off a modest mark of 94 in a C&D handicap hurdle in October 2024; has now obtained a rating of 132 after recording his fourth handicap success at Killarney in May; seldom runs a bad race and was placed twice at last year's festival, third in the big amateur handicap and second in a handicap hurdle. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
1m4f Flat winner at last year's Galway festival and took a maiden hurdle this January; that's from 14 races for Donnacha O'Brien, for whom he was a promising third of 24 to Westminster Moon (1m6f, good) in May and a fair fifth over 2m in June; not beaten far when ninth in 2m Shergar Cup race at Ascot but that shows he needs marked improvement in today's first-time visor (1-8 in cheekpieces), replacing a tongue-tie. |
16/1 |

9th 3 (7) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Hurdle/Flat winner; ran in snatches when a 5l fifth in a 2m fast-ground handicap at the Curragh on what proved to be his final start for Donnacha O'Brien; that last run was his first on ground quicker than good and he does like the mud. |
7/1 |

Dual-purpose; hurdle winner is 1-9 on the Flat; has come up dry since winning a Galway Festival maiden last July (12.5f, yielding); kept on nicely for third over 1m6f here latest (Delta behind); raised 2lb for that but should go well again up in trip. |

Flat winner; dual victories over hurdles include a C&D win; just 0.5l behind subsequent Galway Hurdle winner Putapoundinthejar at Bellewstown last month (2m1f, good), winner now rated 14lb higher; not a bad effort on the Flat at Galway last time (1m4f, yielding to soft); interesting. |

Dual-purpose sort has been soundly beaten on recent Flat runs but ran a cracker over hurdles at Bellewstown last time; chance if converting that back to this sphere. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |

Smart hurdler (rated 143) at his best, albeit soundly beaten in competitive handicaps final two starts last term; bit laboured in his jumping on chasing debut at Clonmel in April (soft), but has had time off since and no surprise if he returned with an improved display; has to be considered on favoured ground. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
1m2f French Flat winner who did well for former Irish connections, in victory and defeat over hurdles; even better when winning comfortably on his stable debut at Sandown (soft) and it was only three days later he finished well held under a penalty (same mark here) in the Fred Winter, though that run was better than it looks on paper; this is his first handicap against older opposition and he's very much in the mix. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
1m2f French Flat winner; won a maiden hurdle (yielding) in Ireland in October and continued his progress with seconds this winter in a Listed race and Punchestown handicap; even better when winning comfortably on his stable debut at Sandown on Saturday (soft), picking up the penalty that secured his place here; connections strike while the iron is hot and he merits attention, for all that Harry Cobden was aboard at the weekend but not now. |
18/1 |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 3 |

French Flat winner who scored on hurdle debut at Gowran Park (2m, yielding) in October and has continued to run well, finishing a clear second in a 4yo handicap at Punchestown (2m, heavy) in January on final outing for Ross O'Sullivan; could have a part to play on stable debut. |

8st 7lb |
Won this last year off 4lb lower; some good runs since and ran a solid race when beaten 2.25l into sixth over 1m7f at Leopardstown 15 days ago; 2-4 here so has to enter calculations. |

6th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 0y |
12st 2lb |
Capable dual-purpose performer won a nice pot on the Flat at Killarney last August off 4lb lower; stepped forward from below-par seasonal return when a 4.75l fifth at Fairyhouse on latest (3l behind Not Just Any Eagle); eased 2lb and place chance. |
11/2 |

5th 6 (3) |
8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 200y |
9st 4lb |
Capable under both codes, both Flat wins coming in 1m6f Killarney handicaps, last summer off 72 before good second at Newmarket (2m2f); Curragh comeback run in late May was poor but more expected of here. |
