11st 6lb |
A winner over fences and over timber; rated 13lb higher over fences but failed to exploit lower hurdles' mark on return from a 167-day absence at Clonmel on latest; sharper for that and better expected now. |

11st 8lb |
Was mixing hurdles and fences last year, winning a Galway chase in October before a hurdles second at Tramore; up 3lb for that run so will need to be ready on return to defy that. |

9th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 73y |
11st 4lb |
Won a handicap hurdle at Wexford last summer and several promising efforts this year, including over timber at Roscommon in August when only finding one too good; may have won that without a bad mistake late and arrives on the back of a facile success over fences at Galway on Tuesday; should go well from lower hurdle mark. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
10st 9lb |
Beaten a head by The Gradual Slope at Fairyhouse in April (2m5f, yielding to soft); creditable effort around the cross-country course at the Punchestown festival last time (3m1f, good to yielding); not ruled out. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 90y |
11st 12lb |
Off the mark chasing in 2m6f Fairyhouse handicap in November (yielding-to-soft) and better again when just denied over same C&D early this month on similar ground; in between wasn't discredited in strong renewal of PP Hogan Memorial over today's C&D (fifth to Vanillier); definite claims. |

Second for this rider when favourite for this race last season and a C&D winner for her last November; kept ticking over with a cross-country run and a hurdles outing in February; strong chance. |

In excellent form earlier in the summer, winning twice over 2m3f here; well below his best at Galway last time; up 13lb but his liking for this venue is a significant plus and is much respected. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |

5-33 over fences and arrives on the back of successive front running 19.5f wins at Downpatrick, both on good ground; has gone up a total of 13lb but clearly in good heart and should make another bold bid here. |

C&D victory came from the blue after being pulled up in his previous two starts; blinkers (retained) replaced the visor that day; four-time chase winner is up 7lb, has never won off a mark this high but his win was impressive and he was consistent last term. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 176y |
10st 0lb |
Two hurdle wins arrived in 2024 on heavy ground; beaten 27l over fences at Clonmel (2m7f, soft) in April, but he was only 2l down when falling at the second last hurdle here (2m4f, soft to heavy) later that month; 3lb wrong. |

Dual-winning hurdler has largely struggled this term and was pushed along vigorously over fences on latest at Clonmel; Jack Kennedy has been booked though, so he's worth a market check. |

In and out form this year; good second at Thurles (2m6f, soft) before tailed off at Wexford (2m4f, soft); continued wonderful Tramore course form when easily winning over 2m6f (good to yielding) in April, adding his fifth chase win (four at Tramore); beaten 31l off this mark back at favoured track last time. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |

Veteran who enhanced his excellent record here with an 11l success over this trip last month, when the return to drier ground made a big difference; raised 8lb but he's historically well handicapped still. |

20th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 160y |
11st 10lb |
Has run many of his best races at this track, three wins and three seconds from 14 visits; poor run at Wexford last month; the balance of this season's form has been respectable, and his liking for this circuit is a significant positive |

Gained a second chase success with a good display over 2m2f at Thurles in February (soft); well held twice since (blinkered last time) and second experience of the banks here, having never counted in this race last year. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 3f 100y |

Better hurdler than chaser for Des McDonogh but off the mark chasing at second attempt for current yard when taking 2m5f Kilbeggan handicap last month, appreciating drop in grade and would have won handier but for mistake at last; 5lb rise looks plenty fair and should go well. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 85y |

Better hurdler than chaser, though last win came in 2023; 0-9 chasing, standout run when second in 2m5f Down Royal handicap in January off 97; none too fluent and met trouble in running on yard debut here in May; best form is on softer ground; drops in grade. |

Both wins at Sligo; went up 7lb for a decisive win there on penultimate (20.5f, good); held off revised mark back at Sligo on latest (10l behind Steps In The Sand); however, has placed over C&D before off 9lb higher so can't discount. |
