11th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 67y |
11st 3lb |
Point winner but a maiden under rules, 3m2f Down Royal handicap chase fourth his best recent effort; poor Punchestown effort when last seen in June, however. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 157y |
10st 7lb |
Point winner who was struggling over hurdles when returning from a long absence but has fared much better in two starts in handicap chases, beaten 10l into fourth over 3m2f at Down Royal 55 days ago; drop in trip sure to suit and chance. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 1f 0y |
11st 9lb |
Maiden hurdle winner at Kilbeggan last year; back hurdling after failures in chases at Tramore and Ballinrobe; rarely at her best in the past year, apart from when second at Wexford (2m1f, good); first reserve. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 48y |
10st 10lb |
Maiden hurdle winner (Kilbeggan) last year who bounced back to form with second at Wexford (2m1f, good) in May and solid run from out of the handicap at Listowel; favourite but never travelled when well held on chase debut in Tramore handicap last month, so definite concerns. |

16th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 140y |

Maiden hurdle winner last year who bounced back to form with second at Wexford (2m1f, good) in May; backed that up when beaten 6l into fifth at Listowel when out of the weights; below form when beaten favourite at Wexford lto; makes chase debut and appeals as the type with more to give. |

23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y |
11st 7lb |
Inferior hurdler to some of these but she's a better chaser and held her own in a 2m2f Grade 3 at Galway's festival; thereabouts with something similar; races prominently. |

30th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |

Rated 105 over hurdles but performed above that level when winning on chase debut at Wexford, jumping well; however, this is much tougher and a place looks the best she can do. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |

Back to form over hurdles in recent months, but she's a long way inferior to several of these in that sphere and it's late in the day to be going chasing; best watched. |

Winning hurdler is 0-12 over fences; ran okay in handicap chases at Clonmel and Wexford over 2m7f/3m2f earlier this year; well beaten over 2m2f at Galway last time (good); may want it softer. |

Went up 5lb for a course 2m3f win early in December; gave another solid display when fourth at Limerick; Fairyhouse run last time was too bad to be true, but makes it hard to be confident about his chance. |

Five-time Flat winner in Britain; promoted winner of C&D handicap in which Friar Hogan was carried out; he had also suffered interference caused by the first-past-the-post; went up 6lb and failed to distinguish himself at Punchestown. |

Five-time Flat winner in Britain; rightly got controversial 2m4f Limerick handicap hurdle in the stewards' room after being badly hampered by the first past the post; finished off well that day and likely drier ground here is a positive. |

Five-time winner on the Flat in Britain; 0-11 hurdling for this yard, best effort yet when runner-up in a claimer at Clonmel in February; leading when slipped up going to three out at the same venue nine weeks ago; not ruled out. |

Remote second in a 2m Clonmel handicap in February his standout effort; safely held when upped in trip and headgear combination tried at Killarney early this month so has a lot to find. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 2m 6f 180y |

Second in a 2m Clonmel handicap in February, but beaten 20l; never looked like justifying market support at Ballinrobe in August; tailed off in a chase last time; new headgear now, perhaps unwise to rule out. |

Two hurdle wins arrived in 2024 on heavy ground; beaten 27l over fences at Clonmel (2m7f, soft) in April, but he was only 2l down when falling at the second last hurdle here (2m4f, soft to heavy) later that month; 3lb wrong. |

Dual-winning hurdler has largely struggled this term and was pushed along vigorously over fences on latest at Clonmel; Jack Kennedy has been booked though, so he's worth a market check. |

Gained back-to-back wins in May, easily over fences at Limerick (2m7f) and hurdles at Tramore (2m6f) on good ground; well held last twice in Kilbeggan handicap chases, however, so needs to bounce back. |
14/1 |
Verdict
Philip Rothwell and Phidelma Elvin combined to win a division of this handicap last year and they could strike again with LARKINS LANE. Both Mount Shenshan and Carlas Big Jim are former winners and must be respected. Bohemian Bay is worth a market check. [Adrian Wall]
