8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
10st 9lb |
Limited Flat maiden but doing better over hurdles and after winning his maiden at Down Royal he ran well at the weights in a rated hurdle at Wexford; has form claims for sure but this softer ground might not be preferable, especially over this longer trip. |
5/2 |

27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
10st 10lb |
A 69-rated Flat maiden; struggled to make an impression in juvenile hurdles last winter and was a rank outsider in the Triumph; came good in a maiden at Down Royal early this month; won readily and left an impression that he can continue on the upgrade on summer ground. |
5/1 |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 88y |
10st 12lb |
A 69-rated Flat maiden; the best of four hurdle runs when beaten 15l in a Naas Listed juvenile event; beaten a long way in the Triumph Hurdle since; can go well but others look stronger. |

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. |
2/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
31st Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Flat maiden has run with credit several times over hurdles, including twice at this track and is ground-versatile; should be closely involved. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 4 |
12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 200y |
11st 0lb |
Failed to place in six Flat starts; 0-8 over hurdles, although some decent efforts; runner-up in a Gowran maiden hurdle in October (2m, yielding); creditable efforts following that before taking a distant second here over Christmas (2m, heavy); poor effort in a Punchestown handicap before 13l second in a maiden at Navan 12 days ago. |

First reserve; midfield finishes in two maiden starts but not discounted at this level if getting a run; blinkers on. |

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 |
|
6th 16 |
12th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 166y |
10st 7lb |
Has placed form over 2m/2m1f on the level; favourite when runner-up in Limerick maiden hurdle in March; 2m5f was expected to suit last time, but it didn't; gets plenty of weight from her main rivals. |
6/1 |
|
5th 13 |
16th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 100y |
10st 11lb |
Fair Flat maiden in Britain for James Horton; shaped okay on all three maiden hurdle runs over 2m, notably latest when (favourite) chasing home a ready winner here last month (soft); tries a longer trip here. |
8/1 |
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]
