Ballinrobe bumper winner went close in a pair of good-quality events at Listowel (13.5f) and Killarney (2m1f) in the summer; slightly below that level when fourth at Listowel 13 days ago but sets a high bar in a maiden with Colin Keane taking over. |

Ballinrobe bumper winner has gone close in two similar events when losing by 0.5l both times on good ground; finished in front of Lark In The Mornin here in June when running on well and 4lb better off now; looks the pick of the stable's three runners. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 4lb |
Smart hurdles form since last seen on the Flat; won Listed event at Kempton (2m5f, good) last November; third to Woodhoh in Grade 3 at Leopardstown, second in a 3m Grade 2 at Doncaster; out of her depth in Grade 1 at Cheltenham; runner-up in all three starts in Flat maidens last season, the first over C&D; likely Galway-bound, but hard to oppose here. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 56y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Steadily progressive; won Listed event at Kempton (2m5f, good) in November; has advanced her form in defeat since, finishing third to Wodhooh and Feet Of A Dancer in Grade 3 at Leopardstown (2m4f, good/yielding) over Christmas before getting outstayed by the latter in a 3m Grade 2 at Doncaster (soft) in January; likeable but surely far more a place than win contender. |

Steadily progressive; won Listed event at Kempton (2m5f, good) in November and seemed to perform even better when third to the classy Wodhooh in Grade 3 at Leopardstown (2m4f, good/yielding; 18-1) over Christmas; more to find again and has stamina to prove as well, but she may not have reached her limit. |

12-race maiden; runner-up in a Roscommon claimer in August and bounced back from two lesser runs when a distant third over 2m at Thurles last week; return to this trip is fine and not out of this back down at his preferred sort of trip. |

Promise in two runs at two, notably when second to the subsequent 2025 Irish Derby runner-up Serious Contender; uneven form last year; just denied at Leopardstown on handicap/seasonal debut; up 4lb but still a leading contender for in-form yard. |

Won a Wexford maiden hurdle in July 2024; ran well in a Leopardstown handicap hurdle in December off 2lb lower, his last start in this sphere; should be at peak fitness after two recent spins on the Flat; needs the forecast rain to miss. |

Bumper winner and rated 105 over hurdles; not beaten far on Flat debut at Leopardstown in June 2025 (1m7f, good, RPR 80), but below that level when beaten 17.5l at Thurles in October; place shout if he repeats that Leopardstown effort. |

Bumper winner is 0-6 over hurdles; not a bad run when a 6l third at Clonmel (2m1f, gd-yld) in April; mixed hurdles and the Flat to no avail since but still early days and ran respectably in a C&D maiden last December; can't discount. |

Bumper winner on good; had first run on the Flat in June when an eyecatching sixth of 13 behind A Dream To Share at Leopardstown (1m7f, good) after a slow break; poor over hurdles since but not out of things if the ground doesn't soften. |

Dual-purpose; point-to-point and bumper winner; 1-3 on the Flat; beaten off 86 in a 1m6f handicap at Navan (heavy) latest; major improvement needed in first-time cheekpieces. |

Dual-purpose; bumper winner got off the mark on the level in a C&D (soft) maiden in October; four runs over hurdles since so won't lack for fitness on Flat handicap debut but her opening handicap mark doesn't look overly generous. |

2nd Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 19y |

Point-to-point winner won a bumper last season and a Flat maiden last year; 0-4 hurdling but makes plenty of appeal on recent Fairyhouse handicap debut, clear second to a well-handicapped rival over this trip (yielding); 3lb wrong but rider good value for his 7lb claim, so one to consider. |

Winning hurdler for Noel Meade; regressive on Flat in recent years until much more encouraging run at Limerick on Saturday, coming from some way back under 7lb claimer when beaten a head/neck over 1m4f (good); Billy Lee now takes over and major claims off same mark but draw a negative. |

19th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 165y |

No wins from 12 but went mighty close over C&D (good) last time when denied by a head; his form is in and out, but a repeat of his last run will see him go close off 2lb higher; ground is a slight unknown. |
