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. |

10st 9lb |
A 132-rated hurdler has run well in defeat on the Flat several times including when third over 1m4f here on return last month; however, was poor over hurdles at Galway since and has to rebound; the hood worn then is left off. |

9st 3lb |
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. |

Maiden has run well a number of times, notably when second in a Roscommon claimer in August but looks out of his depth here on official figures; new headgear combination tried. |

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 in 2024; some respectable efforts over hurdles but not enough to suggest he can win off this mark; mid-division in a Roscommon Flat maiden last month after seven months off. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

5th Aug 2026 Good 1m 5f 56y |

Had useful maiden form at three for Noel Meade and landed maiden hurdle last summer; hit form for this yard when close third over 1m4f at Limerick, and kept on steadily when beaten 4l over extended 1m3f at Killarney; waited with lately, so wide draw won't matter much. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 103y |

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. |

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. |
