31st Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
10st 9lb |
1-7 over fences; best run since his beginners' chase win at Down Royal (19.5f, good) last year came when a 3.75l third at Wexford in May (2m, gd-yld); disappointed in Summer Plate at Market Rasen latest; runner up in the QR handicap on the Flat here in 2024 so not totally discounted in new headgear combination. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Useful Flat and hurdles performer who has gone 0-5 over fences since a winning start in May 2025 and he'll need to run better than he did in a handicap chase at Ballinrobe last time; however, a case can be made off this mark on best form; versatile trip-wise from 2m to beyond 3m. |

2nd 7 (2) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 1m 6f 80y |
9st 7lb |
Listed bumper winner; landed 1m5f Flat maiden at Down Royal last year on good; decisively scored at Gowran Park over this tirp on soft in April and didn't get the cleanest of runs at Galway last time; may need a slight ease in the ground to show best. |
8/1 |

9th 12 (21) |
27th Jul 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 179y |
11st 7lb |
Two from two in bumpers; gained a second win on the Flat when readily taking a 1m6f Gowran handicap in April (soft); raised 8lb for that; needs to reverse recent Faryhouse form with Tounsivator; any further easing of the ground would help. |
11/2 |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 200y |
10st 1lb |
Two bumper wins and was gaining a second win on the Flat when readily taking 1m6f Gowran handicap in April (soft); 8lb higher and quicker ground to contend with (has won on good). |

3rd 12 |
28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 132y |
10st 3lb |
Dual-purpose; 1-10 over hurdles; good effort at big odds when a 4.5l fourth of 18 in the Imperial Cup at Sandown in March; didn't back that up at Fairyhouse on latest; would have a place chance with a repeat of that Sandown run. |
20/1 |
|
9th 12 |
4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |
10st 4lb |
Hasn't added to Galway 3yo maiden win although last month's return from winter break was encouraging, not fluent last when fourth of 18 behind Mondo Man in Imperial Cup at Sandown; runs off same mark here, rider's claim a positive. |
10/1 |
|
4th 9 |
7th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Irish-trained 5yo who failed to threaten on his last two hurdle starts last autumn; however, a break may have helped and he was a close third of 15 at Galway (2m1f, good) last August; his maiden hurdle win came on yielding to soft; has an each-way shout if back on song; tongue-tie is left off. |

26th Aug 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 110y |
11st 10lb |
Four-time Flat winner has also won over hurdles; won over 1m7f at Leopardstown in July but has been below that level since off this mark and has to rebound. |

16th Aug 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
9st 8lb |
Likes a stamina test, last three wins at around this trip including at Leopardstown last month off 71; hampered start when never counting at same venue 9 days ago but that run can be forgiven and remains a player. |
15/2 |
|
6th 1 (9) |
7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 7f 0y |
12st 2lb |
Won two staying handicaps last year and added another one over C&D (gd-yld) two weeks ago; a 6lb rise makes things harder but another good run likely on the cards. |

30th Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Seven-time turf winner won twice in July and ran a decent race on latest off this mark when a 3.75l fifth of 16 at Galway; has won off higher ratings in the past so not dismissed with in-form claimer taking off 5lb. |
15/2 |
|
5th 18 (6) |
1st Aug 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 180y |
9st 4lb |
Seven-time turf winner on a hat-trick after back to back wins at Navan (1m2f, good) and Killarney (11.5f, good); has gone up 11lb for those wins but she has won off higher marks in the past; however, was unplaced in the 5.40 here on Thursday. |
5/1 |

12th 1 (7) |
30th Jul 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
10st 0lb |
Ground-versatile sort has hit form lately, winning over 1m2f at Navan and carrying a 7lb penalty at Killarney over just short of this trip; up another 4lb but has run well in defeat at this track and looks a player. |

10st 1lb |
Fine dual-purpose sort has 10 wins under all codes including a Bellewstown Flat handicap last August beating a below par Light Up The Dark; won the American Grand National when last seen; handles all ground; a big player. |

26th Aug 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 110y |
11st 9lb |
Useful dual-purpose sort ran a solid fourth on the Flat at Killarney in May; won over fences at Galway last time after being unplaced in the Plate earlier in the week; should run well. |

3rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 111y |

High-class hurdler; has won only one of his nine starts over fences, a Thurles beginners' event the season before last; fell at the fourth in the Ultima at Cheltenham on his final start last season; had a Flat run in May; third to Pinkerton in last year's Galway Plate; beaten almost 20l in seventh behind stablemate Western Fold in Wednesday's 2025 edition. |

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

Three-time Flat winner; last success was in 2021; hard to take any encouragement from his Flat/hurdles form this year. |
14/1 |
|
9th 11 |
5th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 61y |
11st 1lb |
Three-time Flat winner is just 1-32 over hurdles; fourth at Wexford in April but has been below that twice since and others make more appeal. |
