9st 8lb |
Versatile mare who landed a C&D maiden a year ago; good form this year, ran a cracker when second to Deressa off 4lb lower at Ballinrobe in June; Galway Hurdle run can be ignored and holds each-way chance. |

Three hurdle wins and six seconds, including a pleasing effort behind Murcia at Listowel in May; has run twice on the Flat since then, went close in a handicap at Ballinrobe, out of the money behind Tounsivator at Fairyhouse. |

11st 9lb |
Two of his three hurdle wins came at this track; some solid runs in defeat in beginners' chases but seemed to do too much in front when well beaten in a C&D handicap last time; can do better with more restraint. |

Hasn't stood much racing since winning a bumper at Leopardstown in December 2023; remote sixth on chase debut at Punchestown in November and off since; others appeal more. |

1st Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 108y |
11st 10lb |
Won over fences last time at Wexford (2m3f); dual hurdle winner and has posted some smart form in this sphere over shorter; has a chance if getting back to best hurdle form and staying this trip. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |

Smart hurdler (rated 143) at his best, albeit soundly beaten in competitive handicaps final two starts last term; bit laboured in his jumping on chasing debut at Clonmel in April (soft), but has had time off since and no surprise if he returned with an improved display; has to be considered on favoured ground. |

Bumper and hurdle winner ran respectably over fences here last time (2m); could well battle it out for a place but has plenty to find with Le Coq Hardi on ratings. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |

Bumper and hurdle winner ran her best race over fences when second at Tramore in May over this trip; poor back over hurdles at Sligo last time and others have stronger claims. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Irish raider; 13-race maiden whose best effort came over hurdles when a close second at Tramore (2m5f, good) last August, but three attempts over fences have seen her pulled up twice and tailed off once; Sean Bowen booked and, while a return to better ground and handicap company may help, she still has plenty to prove. |

Both hurdle wins came at Cork on good ground last year; 0-4 chasing this year, just headed when unseating two out at Limerick last time; reverts to hurdles with trip/ground to suit. |

21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 150y |
11st 12lb |
Handicap chase debutante; 2-10 over hurdles (both wins on good ground) and rated 4lb higher in that sphere; not many positives to take from three beginners' chase runs on soft at 15.5f-2m2f; this trip more suitable but needs the forecast rain to miss. |

14th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 7f 131y |
11st 5lb |
Two-time winning hurdler (rated 119); always near the back in first two beginners' chases at Thurles (both 2m2f, soft); best form on good ground so needs the track to dry out. |

14th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 7f 131y |
11st 12lb |
Point-to-point winner; rated 130 over timber; got to within 1.75l of progressive Zanoosh on penultimate start in a handicap hurdle at Navan (2m4f, sft-hvy); bred for this game (dam a chase winner); this trip might be on the sharp side but can't dismiss. |

2nd Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 19y |
10st 9lb |
Quite lightly-raced 7yo with an upward profile, landing 2m4f Punchestown handicap on soft-to-heavy in November and fine run off 10lb higher over same trip at Navan a fortnight ago, finishing strongly to take third; step up in trip looks a wise move and likely improver. |

14th Apr 2026 Yielding 1m 7f 131y |

2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 2f 72y |
10st 12lb |
Some promise in maiden hurdle runs at Thurles on yielding to soft ground; way below that level at Limerick on handicap bow over Christmas (2m3f, soft to heavy); ground possibly an excuse that day and similar conditions likely; tongue tie goes on. |
