6th 7 (8) |
4th Sep 2026 Good 1m 2f 145y |
9st 11lb |
Won a maiden hurdle here in May but now 0-14 on the Flat, pick of recent form being Galway fourth (1m4f, soft); needs to settle better than at Tramore on latest, drops in trip. |
12/1 |

4th 7 (7) |
15th Aug 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 0y |
9st 6lb |
Yet to win after eight Flat starts but took a Down Royal maiden hurdle in May; solid effort over 1m4f at Galway last month (yielding to soft); two-day break possibly to blame when disappointed over hurdles back there last time; others appeal more. |
9/1 |

1st Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 175y |
10st 7lb |
Yet to win on the Flat but took a Down Royal maiden hurdle in May; might have been unsuited by soft ground when poor in a Roscommon novice last time; solid fourth on the Flat here on Thursday. |

2nd 12 (8) |
31st Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Ex-Irish; made a fine start for his new stable when winning a Class 5 1m4f handicap at Kempton 19 days ago, drawing clear with an unexposed rival despite a steady pace; not missed with a 7lb rise but not out of the question he will kick on again. |
13/2 |

1st 6 (7) |
12th Aug 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
0-6 on the Flat but he won a maiden hurdle at Tramore in April on his final start for Denis Hogan; has since been purchased for £26,000 and makes his stable/AW debut for a yard that does well with new recruits; market should be informative. |
5/2 |

20th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 80y |
10st 10lb |
Flat maiden has run with credit in defeat in most of his 10 hurdle starts; third at Limerick last time and a repeat of that will see him go close; ground-versatile. |

26th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 40y |
11st 11lb |
Decent third in a Kilbeggan 4yo maiden hurdle last month (2m3f, good); didn't back it up over 15.5f (yld-sft) at Roscommon latest; could improve on handicap debut for top yard; can't discount. |
8/1 |
|
5th 12 |
4th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |
11st 1lb |
A 70-rated Flat maiden with Donnacha O'Brien last year; had two low-key runs in maiden hurdles before showing signs of progress when third at Kilbeggan 11 days ago; has the measure of Earthwatch on that evidence. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |
10st 13lb |
70-rated Flat maiden with Donnacha O'Brien last year; couple of underwhelming runs in maiden hurdles for current yard, latest after 7 months' absence at Downpatrick 10 days ago; may come on for that comeback run. |
8/1 |

9th 8 (8) |
15th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Regressive maiden under both codes for four yards (trainer also saddles Tenadaay, who looks his best chance); hard to make a case for her back in the cheekpieces. |
50/1 |
|
7th 4 (6) |
31st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
With her third trainer, first run for him when 40-1 and well beaten at Kempton (2m, AW) this month; overall scores are 0-8 on Flat and 0-5 over hurdles, and clearly her best Flat effort was over 2m1f last September in a first-time visor; 6lb lower today but others are still preferred. |
40/1 |
|
8th 9 (8) |
8th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
8st 7lb |
Fair staying maiden; in decent nick over hurdles when last seen for Denis Hogan in May so she's no forlorn hope starting out for her new yard here. |
16/1 |
Verdict
This is a weak contest. The Willie Mullins-trained Beauvallon is likely to be popular in the betting. However, despite his expensive yearling price-tag, his French Flat form and Irish debut haven’t been awe-inspiring. It represents a chance for CROOKED PATH (nap) to make the breakthrough, having hit the frame in a couple of his previous hurdle outings. [Denis Harney]
