6th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 125y |
11st 4lb |
Dual-purpose maiden improved hugely on previous form when runner-up in a Downpatrick 2m6f maiden hurdle; needs to show that wasn't a fluke but can be involved again if repeating that. |

Some sign of ability on the Flat at up to 1m4f; 80-1 when tailed off in a maiden at Clonmel where his jumping lacked any fluency. |

8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 1f 24y |
10st 6lb |
Point-to-point winner yet to score under Rules but placed on multiple occasions, including when a good second on final start for Henry De Bromhead at Fairyhouse in April (24.5f, yld-sft); just 1lb higher now and can't be discounted on first start for new stable. |

2nd 14 |
6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 120y |
10st 12lb |
Point-to-point winner yet to get his head in front under rules; promise in both chase starts and weighted to close the 7.75l gap to Joyau De Thaix who won the beginners' chase he contested at Leopardstown last time. |
10/1 |

3rd 7 |
3rd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 120y |
11st 12lb |
Point winner in 2022; still a maiden under rules; runner-up in final three starts last season (including over fences at Kilbeggan); fair seasonal debut over a trip short of his best at Navan in November (2m, soft to heavy); did well to take third over 2m4f at the same venue after running keenly; down the field on latest. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 148y |
11st 0lb |
Up front throughout when winning 2m2f mares' handicap here last month (good); similar tactics employed in 2m2f novices since, third at Ballinrobe and weakened badly when last of 5 here; steps up in trip now. |

6th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 193y |
10st 13lb |
Up front throughout when winning C&D mares' handicap last month (good); similar tactics employed when third to Manoir De Mirande in 2m2f Ballinrobe novice since; 6lb better off before that rival's claim is taken into account. |

21st Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 89y |

Up front throughout when winning Sligo handicap over this trip; effectively 10lb higher, but further progress is likely. |
8/1 |
Verdict
Most appealing are Speculateur and KILLANEY KING with preference given to the latter because he is likely to be better value in the market, and Speculateur has failed to win as favourite in two hurdle outings. He perhaps dislikes this ground given his point win came on better. Killaney King returns to maiden hurdle company, having run decent races in a couple of handicaps. Always Scoring and Acheron are worth a market check. [Denis Harney]
