17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 180y |
11st 7lb |
Wexford bumper winner last summer and easily pick of three attempts hurdling when second to an odds-on shot in 2m Listowel mares maiden last month (yielding); later in month just okay effort in Leopardstown amateur flat maiden on fast ground; probably prefers easier ground and could struggle to confirm Listowel form with Tumbling In on these terms. |

11st 2lb |
Bumper winner last August after several good runs in defeat; improved on previous hurdles form when second to Salsinha at Listowel; yard won this last year with John Gleeson aboard; significant that he partners Salsinha here. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 90y |
10st 11lb |
1-21 on the Flat, although placed on several occasions; her C&D maiden hurdle run here (good) last time wasn't too encouraging; makes handicap hurdle debut now but others make more appeal. |
14/1 |

12th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 166y |
11st 7lb |
Not a bad handicapper at around 1m1f/1m2f for Willie McCreery and fair form in three spins over hurdles, although tended to be too keen; picked up for 5,000euros in November; had a recent comeback run on the Flat. |
8/1 |

7th 2 (14) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 2f 158y |
10st 2lb |
Sole win for Willie McCreery came over 1m1f at Punchestown in 2024; some decent efforts in defeat last season and picked up for 5,000euros in November; debuts for local yard in first-time tongue-tie and market could be interesting. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Won her maiden on good ground and, back under similar conditions, she found only one too good at Clonmel (2m3f); solid chance off 1lb higher. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 116y |
11st 11lb |
Useful form in the first half of last season on decent ground, won a Down Royal maiden after several solid placed efforts; very soft ground was against her on reappearance at Limerick last month; may begin to prosper again on better going. |
8/1 |
|
5th 2 |
16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 50y |
11st 8lb |
Off the mark in Down Royal maiden last summer (2m1f, good) and better form when second in 2m Gowran handicap on soft; after a break didn't count in very valuable Leopardstown mares' handicap at the DRF in February; this is less competitive so don't rule out. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 204y |
10st 11lb |
Has been runner-up in six of her eight hurdle starts but there was no improvement tackling a first handicap at Ballinrobe last time; needs to find a bit extra to get the job done. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 8 |
26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y |
10st 0lb |
Runner-up in five of her seven hurdle starts; may score now after a solid display at Down Royal on her first run since November; suited by good ground. |
9/4 |

2nd 16 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 88y |
10st 11lb |
Third runner for yard; Flat maiden ran some fine races in defeat over hurdles last year but was below form last two starts; rated 106 so has a bit to find, but capable of a decent showing on return. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 139y |
11st 7lb |
Some okay runs in bumpers last summer and ran her best race over hurdles back from a break at Clonmel (2m1f, good to yielding) last time when a 1.25l second of 18; big player if staying this new trip and finding improvement from that first run back. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 5 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 159y |
10st 13lb |
Couple of decent runs in bumpers last summer, two maiden hurdle runs not so good, soft ground may not have suited second occasion; seasonal return and ground more in her favour in what looks a modest maiden. |
7/2 |
|
9th 4 |
12th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 215y |
10st 13lb |
0-6 but runner-up on her yard debut in a Tramore bumper and respectable efforts twice since, although could do with tidying up her jumping having made errors on hurdle bow at Down Royal a fortnight ago. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y |

Probably not suited by testing ground in two runs before a break; won a maiden on good-to-yielding over 2m3f at this venue last October. |
8/1 |

18th Nov 2025 Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
10st 8lb |
Initial promise in bumpers; modest form in maiden hurdles until an improved display when winning a 2m3f maiden at this venue a month ago; hard to be sure if the return to a shorter trip will bring out the best in her. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 195y |

Second reserve; dual-purpose maiden; yet to trouble the judge in either code; rated 34 and leap of faith required to fancy her here. |

18th Jun 2026 Yielding 1m 7f 0y |
