Well-bred ex-Amo gelding was placed at two; very poor form Flat and hurdles this year. |

Modest Flat maiden was pulled up at 300-1 on his hurdling bow at Cork (2m2f, good); hard to fancy. |

Modest Flat maiden rated 60 in that sphere; not an obvious candidate for hurdling on breeding; best watched. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 1m 5f 16y Class 4 |
10st 0lb |
2-5 since joining this yard, winning at Pontefract (2m2f, good; first-time visor) in June and over hurdles at Cartmel a fortnight ago; clearly in good heart, but this may not be far enough for him now. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Won a juvenile hurdle for Gavin Cromwell at Punchestown (2m, good to yielding) in October and was also on target in 2m2f Flat marathon for new stable in June; still unexposed over jumps; no surprise if he features. |
10/1 |
|
7th 2 (10) |
11th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Sole run on good to firm was last July when tailed off in a novice race; staying-on third here (1m4f) this June and he knuckled down well to score over 2m2f at Pontefract (also on good) eight days later; that win was the first time he'd worn this headgear combination and his first go at a staying trip on the Flat; up 4lb but probably has more to offer and he's a big player if he goes on the ground. |

9st 4lb |
Had 20 races but she's an improving handicapper who went close in a big field on Leopardstown's feature card ten days ago; this is her first Listed assignment and may come up short. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 3 (4) |
12th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 60y |
9st 10lb |
Gained third career win at Down Royal in June, bolting up; hit with a 14lb rise for that; struggled over 1m4f in a premier handicap at Galway; second in a five-runner contest at Sligo; seems best at around 1m2f; may lack the pace for a race like this. |
20/1 |

2nd 2 (4) |
5th Aug 2026 Good 1m 2f 100y |

Gained third career win at Down Royal in June, bolting up over a similar trip to this; hit with a 14lb rise for that; struggled over 1m4f in a premier handicap at Galway last week, bringing a consistent sequence to an end; this trip is closer to her optimum. |

24th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |

Ordinary form in three starts over hurdles; out of sorts on the Flat; last of 15 over 1m4f here on Monday; up against it. |
33/1 |
|
15th 11 (10) |
21st Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
8st 11lb |
With Jack Cleary taking off 5lb, he's on the same mark as when beating Obscenity at Roscommon in May (1m4f, yielding); gelded after that and has rather lost his way, in a maiden hurdle and two 1m4f handicaps. |
33/1 |

14th 2 (11) |
31st Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 17y |
10st 0lb |
Went up 6lb for breakthrough Flat win over C&D in May (yielding), beating subsequent winner Obscenity by 2 3/4l; moderate run in a maiden hurdle at Punchestown; down the field at Galway, well held by Thyer on that evidence. |

10st 2lb |
Won for the second time from 17 Flat starts when taking a 1m4f Galway handicap last time on soft; raised 10lb but the runner-up has since won well at Listowel so she has to still be respected; has run well here before. |
4/1 |

Shaped well at Killarney before a mishap here at the festival, when clipped heels and unseated rider; beaten joint-favourite at Roscommon, never in a challenging position over this trip. |

9th 9 (7) |
18th Aug 2026 Good 1m 4f 48y |
9st 9lb |
C&D winner last May off 11lb lower; hinted as though returning to form when an encouraging third at Killarney but then clipped heels and unseated at Galway; likes it here and could go very well. |

10st 7lb |
Flat maiden was just denied in that sphere last time at Listowel (1m3f; hvy) and now rated 63; was earlier second both Ballinrobe hurdle runs and holds Kasper Hauser on former effort (form franked); should be a big player. |
5/2 |

22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 3f 15y |

Runner-up in two juvenile hurdles at Ballinrobe since going close at Limerick in June; has an edge over Faire La Nouba who has been placed on his two most recent Flat starts. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 9 |
12th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 215y |

Filly rated 64 on turf on the Flat, notably when beaten a neck in 1m4f Limerick handicap (good) final start; made good start hurdling when second (third won next time) in Ballinrobe maiden last month on similar ground, surviving bad early blunder; big player if handling likely softer conditions. |

Maiden was touched off over C&D on last year's card, and some good efforts on soft or heavy ground in the autumn; form not as good this term and was too keen in cheekpieces when beaten 7l by Deluca Chop at Navan last time. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 5f 160y |

Modest on the Flat last year; ordinary form over hurdles until a much-improved display when winning a maiden at Thurles at the end of last month; interesting with Colin Keane booked for his Flat start since joining Cian Collins. |
9/2 |
|
1st 12 |
31st Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 0y |

Modest on the Flat and on the evidence of his three previous maiden hurdle efforts a rating of 97 might flatter him (best RPR 80); others appeal more. |
