11st 9lb |
Dual Flat winner; Dan King aboard when winning over hurdles at Thurles (2m4f, yielding to soft) in November but disqualified after a positive sample; two tame efforts on the level in April; market can guide after a break. |

One of two for yard; runner up in a Thurles handicap hurdle last November (winner subsequently thrown out); off since laboured effort at Leopardstown in December (blowing hard post-race); might need this, market can guide. |

Best of four runs under rules came at Wexford last time when he shaped as though a step up in trip, such as this could suit; a lot on his plate here all the same. |

Encouraging debut in a Leopardstown bumper before a distant fourth in a Clonmel maiden hurdle; much more required here but further should suit with stamina on the dam's side of his pedigree. |

Second runner for yard; won at Wexford (19.5f, good) in July off a mark of 95 but has been poor twice since so has major questions to answer now; finished third in a handicap on this card last year. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Bumper winner has been running respectably over hurdles; finished a 4.75l third of 13 at Gowran (2m4f, heavy) last month; same mark here but quicker ground a query. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
7th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Bumper winner is 0-11 hurdling but good second in Punchestown maiden (2m4f, soft) last season; solid form of late in handicaps; dropped 1lb for latest fifth at Punchestown and capable 7lb claimer aboard. |
8/1 |

5th 4 |
3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 55y |

Bumper winner is 0-10 hurdling but good second in 2m4f Punchestown maiden (soft) last season; okay form of late in handicaps but needs to improve to play a major role. |

Three wins over fences; ran well off his lower hurdles mark when second in a staying handicap hurdle at Sligo in June; onepaced back over fences at Wexford last month; others preferred. |
20/1 |
|
4th 1 |
8th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Has gone the wrong way since winning the 2024 Cork National; signs of a revival over hurdles at Sligo on penultimate but didn't build on it back there on latest; remains 5lb above his last chase win and failed to complete last two chase starts. |
16/1 |
|
7th 7 |
12th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 121y |
11st 2lb |
Lost his form badly after winning the Cork National in 2024, but bounced back over 3m2f here (good) last time in first-time blinkers when runner-up after idling when leading (1.75l ahead of Je Suis); form of that race is questionable, but he has a notably low hurdles mark if he can repeat that effort. |

28th Sep 2024 Soft 2m 2f 0y |
11st 13lb |
Is 1-9 over hurdles; last sighted in May beating a subsequent two-time winner in a beginners' chase at Downpatrick (19.5f, good); sole win over timber came in November of last year off 90 on soft at Cork (2m); seems best going right handed and might need this on his return from 127 days off. |

24th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 100y |

Record of 1-9 over hurdles but has been consistent enough in handicaps, mostly on easier ground; has 10l to find with Warm In Gorey from his chasing debut at Wexford but will have improved from then; yard in great form and a player. |

Some ability in bumpers in 2024; weak hurdles form; remote ninth at Gowran last time; previous Galway run was better, even though not in the first ten. |

30th Sep 2026 Good 3m 1f 182y |
11st 12lb |
Came good for Gordon Elliott at second attempt, making all in Ballinrobe handicap hurdle (3m2f, good); bounced back from Downpatrick fourth with success at Perth 23 days ago (3m, good); respected on chase debut but wouldn't want it too soft. |
7/2 |

1st 1 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Came good for Gordon Elliott at second attempt, making all at Ballinrobe (3m2f, good); had to settle for fourth at Downpatrick (2m6f, good) a week ago but still features prominently in calculations. |

31st Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |

Added a second hurdles win at Ballinrobe three weeks ago (3m2f, good) on his second start for new yard; up 5lb for that but should continue to give a good account of himself. |

Handicap hurdle winner last year and consistent in defeat this summer before unseating early at Wexford after being hampered; blinkers left on here and likely to be thereabouts if getting a clear run. |

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

Just 1-19 over hurdles but has been consistent in defeat lately, at Clonmel and twice at Wexford; the blinkers are new and he can be involved again. |

11st 12lb |
Grand family dual-purpose performer won his latest hurdle at Tramore in May (2m) and been running well on the Flat since, including when finishing well over 1m6f here on Monday; not quite proven over this far and lot of weight to shoulder for a relatively handy type. |
6/1 |

5th 4 (17) |
21st Sep 2026 Good 1m 6f 55y |
9st 12lb |
3-36 and two of those wins were over hurdles; however, made up a lot of ground to be third of 16 in a 2m Flat handicap at Navan 19 days ago and that entitles him to a place on the shortlist. |
12/1 |

3rd 12 (5) |
2nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |

Best form this year has been over hurdles at Tramore; only Flat win was in 2023, and he needs to improve on recent efforts; strong trainer/rider combination. |

Ordinary form in maidens; this trip may help his cause judged on a satisfactory handicap run over shorter at Galway; lost ground with a mistake at the fifth, stayed on from off the pace to finish in mid-division. |
