26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Grand family dual-purpose performer won his latest hurdle at Tramore in May (2m) and been running well on the Flat since, including when finishing well over 1m6f here on Monday; not quite proven over this far and lot of weight to shoulder for a relatively handy type. |
6/1 |

3-36 and two of those wins were over hurdles; however, made up a lot of ground to be third of 16 in a 2m Flat handicap at Navan 19 days ago and that entitles him to a place on the shortlist. |

Best form this year has been over hurdles at Tramore; only Flat win was in 2023, and he needs to improve on recent efforts; strong trainer/rider combination. |

Sole win over hurdles came at Tramore in 2024, best of five runs on the Flat came when second at same venue in 1m4f maiden in July, didn't count over 2m there latest; others look more likely on handicap debut. |

0-12; best runs have come at this venue but over shorter trips than this; could run into a place if her stamina holds out (not certain on breeding). |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 116y |
11st 12lb |
Maiden's best runs have tended to be at Tramore, including last month's fourth in 2m1f handicap off this mark, on returning from winter break; prominent racer should run her race but vulnerable. |

Not beaten far on his last two starts, tongue-tie might help to produce some improvement; one of the more likely candidates. |
100/30 |
|
3rd 5 |
13th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 8lb |
Has returned from a 405-day absence with three handicap runs, improving with each one; 15-8 favourite at Tramore (2m1f, good to yielding) last time, arriving with every chance before weakening into fifth; this trip is worth a try. |
7/1 |

20th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 80y |

Has posted decent runs in defeat the last twice over further, notably last time in a higher grade at Fairyhouse (2m4f); can be closely involved if as effective over this trip. |

Maiden after 14 hurdle runs but has been placed a few times, the latest at Killarney in August; not as good at Navan last time and has to return to that earlier form. |

Yet to win but fairly consistent over the summer and ran another solid race when just a length behind Pure Logic at Killarney; 3lb pull with that one and solid chance of breaking his duck here. |

Maiden gelding by Frankel; has shown potential for a belated breakthrough in his three Flat runs this term, the latest when sixth over C&D (4-1 fav), where today's rider was banned for stopping riding late on (4.5l behind Lariat); others more appealing. |

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. |
