AW winner at three and dual winner over fences last year; couple of first-fence falls in March and quiet since; okay run at Navan in June; second to Stepdance over C&D last July, off this mark, and now meets her on a whopping 25lb better terms; only second time to wear blinkers. |

Has lost way over hurdles and fences; won off 2lb lower at Dundalk (1m4f) in 2023 but 0-9 on turf on the Flat and others arrive in better form. |

Hurdle and dual chase winner was poor in this sphere last time after a couple of falls chasing; isn't well-treated at these weights. |

Jumps and travels well but is a weak finisher with a good few seconds to his name; positive is that his sole chase win came after four months off and ground will suit, but seems best right-handed. |

Won off 110 at Limerick (2m4f, good) in May; best run since on latest at Kilbeggan when a 2.75l second off 115 (20.5f, yielding); up 2lb for that and has placed at around this trip over hurdles; in the mix. |

Point winner didn't win in 10 hurdle starts but was often placed, including at this track; off the mark over fences when winning at Limerick in May; beaten 14l off this mark over C&D last time and needs more. |

Finally made the breakthrough in 2m3f Downpatrick maiden in June (good) at the 35th attempt; most recently just okay effort at Kilbeggan back in handicap company; more needed. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |
11st 12lb |
Finally made the breakthrough in a Downpatrick maiden hurdle in June (2m3f, good) at the 35th attempt, having placed on numerous occasions; didn't bring that momentum to a beginners' chase at Wexford last time when pulled up after he made a bad mistake at the first and lost his action; overall record is off-putting. |

Long-standing maiden finally got it done when winning readily over hurdles last month; second in three of 13 chase starts, and some fair runs over fences without being placed in April/May; these types can kick on once they get their heads in front, and Donoghue prefers him to Sophia Rose. |

Has mixed it between Flat and hurdles effectively this year, winning on the level at Sligo and only worn down close home in 2m Galway handicap hurdle on Saturday; obvious chance if turning out quickly. |

Second reserve; is 1-19 over hurdles but some decent efforts in defeat lately including on the Flat; 1lb out of the handicap; needs more. |

Lost form after finishing second in a maiden hurdle at this venue last summer; continued poor run of form when well beaten over 2m2f here on seasonal return (good) last month. |

10th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 109y |
11st 2lb |
Potentially well handicapped relative to her best chase form; good form in that sphere last October when backing up a Sligo win with seconds at Tramore and Down Royal; might need the run, her first since out of her depth in a Grade 2 mares' chase at Cork last December; 13lb lower than her chase mark |
10/1 |

2nd 12 |
31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 100y |
10st 5lb |
Won a novice handicap chase at Sligo (17.5f, gd-yld) early this month from 5lb out of the handicap; narrowly denied in follow up bid at Tramore (15.5f, yielding) off 3lb higher; up another 2lb and this is a deeper race but she's in form and this trip suits; go well again. |
