Won a 1m4f French conditions event (good to soft) on debut last September; struggled in two hurdle starts for Harry Fry and hasn't beaten a rival in two starts for current yard; can only be watched for now; makes handicap debut. |

Came from some way back in today's headgear to be a close third over 2m4f at Bellewstown last month; Daniel King back on board here for the Galway Hurdle winning combination and hard not to see him going close. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 110y |

Flat winner in Germany was poor in that sphere at Galway but has a squeak on some of his hurdle runs, notably a fifth at Punchestown in June; the hood and tongue-tie are new. |

Two Flat wins in Germany early in his career, and Listed-placed; can be rated a possible future handicap hurdle winner on recent form; potentially interesting back on the Flat now. |

Sole success came in a Roscommon claimer in August (10.5f, good); heavy ground may not have been ideal on debut for this yard on latest at Listowel but others make more appeal. |

22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 6f 55y |

Three seconds for William Haggas but had failed to make frame in six starts for Denis Hogan before dropping in grade to take a good ground Roscommon claimer over an extended 1m2f in his final start for that outfit last month; can't be ruled out but others preferred. |

20th Jan 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 1f 33y |
11st 2lb |
Dual-purpose; 1-29 on Flat; 0-6 over hurdles; her sole Flat win came over three years ago, but she had fair form in 2025, including when second in a 1m5f handicap at this venue; well clear of the remainder when chasing home an easy winner at Tramore on New Year's Day. |
5/1 |

22nd Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 1m 6f 55y |
9st 10lb |
Record of 1-27 with her win coming three years ago doesn't inspire hugely, but she has been running well in defeat recently; beaten a head at Down Royal in first-time cheekpieces off 62 in July (1m5f, good); creditable runs at Galway and Killarney following that (a neck behind Ehteyat at Killarney); interesting. |
8/1 |

No win since 2022 but went agonisingly close to ending the drought at Down Royal last month (1m5f, good) in first-time cheekpieces; merit in Galway fourth since so remains of interest. |

Dual AW winner whose Flat turf win came over 1m6f on heavy here last year; posted some good efforts in maiden hurdles last season but didn't appear to stay 2m6f in Ballinrobe handicap on latest; down slightly in trip here and handicapper giving him a chance. |

First reserve; won a 1m2f heavy ground Ffos Las handicap last year off 55 for the Kublers; has been hurdling for current yard and scored in a heavy ground Punchestown maiden in February over an extended 2m3f; way below that level in a Newcastle novice hurdle when last seen later that month; stable among the winners recently. |
