28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Ex-Irish 6yo; built upon encouraging stable debut (over hurdles) when winning at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last month and bettered that form when clear second to an improver at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm) a few days later; can cope if there's rain about; good chance. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Scored over fences for Shark Hanlon in August 2025 but lost his way subsequently; back to his best on his second start for his current yard when winning at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last Tuesday; shouldered with a 7lb penalty but will be suited by the step up in trip and holds claims. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won over fences in Ireland last August (2m3f); his respectable stable debut was over hurdles (2m) and he was keeping on at the finish; wants further ideally but one to consider under Harry Cobden. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 0y |
11st 3lb |
Somehow, the veteran has found top form at the ripe age of 13, three wins over the summer include at Tramore and most recently over 3m2f at Kilbeggan a week ago, winning handily; up 7lb for latest but in the form of his life and has to enter calculations. |

1st 10 |
21st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 180y |
10st 11lb |
Somehow, the veteran has found top form at the ripe age of 13; won at Downpatrick in June off 72 (3m, good) and held form well when placed twice at Wexford over 2m4f/3m1f; landed a third career success when an easy winner at Tramore last time (2m6f, good); up 6lb for that but has to be on the shortlist considering his form. |
5/1 |
|
1st 12 |
14th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |

Veteran; won at Downpatrick in June off 3lb lower and has held form well since; weakened late at Wexford last time (24.5f, good); drops in trip and was runner up to Menas Miracle here in June; chance. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y |
11st 8lb |
Long-standing maiden has been running well over shorter trips this summer; closely matched with Jonny Carrol on Wexford 2m4f form three weeks ago, and went close over 3m a couple of years ago; new headgear combination |
12/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
7th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 55y |
11st 8lb |
Straight into handicap hurdles after a short spell in points; runner-up over this trip in a class 5 at Perth being her best effort; might have had a little too much use made of her at Downpatrick last time; headgear used that day left on here. |
11/2 |
|
4th 1 |
14th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |
11st 7lb |
Point-to-point winner; 0-14 over hurdles but loads of placed efforts to her name, including off 92 in a C&D handicap on penultimate; should go well but rated 95 and likely vulnerable to less exposed rivals; new headgear combination tried. |

Veteran showed there was still plenty of life in him last year; struggling this year; has made the frame at Downpatrick on his last two starts, but beaten a long way on both occasions. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 85y |
11st 8lb |
Last year's win (good-to-yielding) in this came off 87 and later scored over hurdles at Limerick on heavy; twice runner-up in handicap chases last winter on heavy, below best of late on better ground; ground concerns again here. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |

Won a Kilbeggan handicap chase (2m4f, good to yielding) in July last year off 87; runner-up on heavy ground at Clonmel and Limerick at 2m/2m2f before a lesser effort back at Limerick last time (2m4f, good to yielding); capable of better. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 61y |
11st 5lb |
Back from a spell chasing with a solid effort at Downpatrick (2m6f, good), beaten just 1.25l into second of 10; nudged up 2lb, so remains 8lb above sole success, but yard red hot so should be on the premises again. |

2nd 4 |
9th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 6lb |
Consistent over hurdles last year, gaining sole win over extended 2m4f at Wexford; chasing this summer, second over farther here in in May and good run at Kilbeggan last time; cheekpieces return. |
6/1 |

5th 10 |
24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 85y |
11st 0lb |
Sole hurdles win came in 2m5f Wexford handicap last summer, pick of six attempts chasing when second in 3m Downpatrick handicap in May (good); tame Wexford effort early this month but has to be respected on overall profile (cheekpieces worn recently now ditched). |
