9st 4lb |
Front-runner off the mark over 1m6f at Gowran, off basement Irish Flat rating of 40; fifth won at Leopardstown on Friday; went left up the straight last time and trainer feels she'll be better going that way, so might struggle on the bends here. |

8st 10lb |
Career-best when runner-up in a 1m2f Navan handicap last October, though beaten 5l; made a lot of the running before fading to fourth over a shorter trip here 13 days ago on seasonal debut; should strip fitter now and the longer distance may suit |

Lightly-raced mare ran a career-best when runner-up in Navan (1m2f, yielding) handicap in October, but was 5l behind the winner; contender on her return if she's ready to roll. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft To Heavy 1m 5f 160y |
9st 8lb |
Modest on the Flat last year; ordinary form over hurdles until a much-improved display when winning a maiden at Thurles at the end of last month; interesting with Colin Keane booked for his Flat start since joining Cian Collins. |

Modest on the Flat and on the evidence of his three previous maiden hurdle efforts a rating of 97 might flatter him (best RPR 80); others appeal more. |

Won here under both codes last year, including 2m2f mares' handicap hurdle off 81; best hurdle run this year when a clear second in 2m3f Downpatrick mares handicap in June (good), poor run on the Flat at Tramore since; unproven over this far. |

Four wins last year, two on the Flat, two over hurdles; placed twice on the Flat this season, beaten 7l when favourite for a 1m6f handicap at Sligo in May; good run when second in a mares' handicap hurdle at Downpatrick last month, well clear of the remainder. |

Won a Ballinrobe maiden hurdle by 16l last summer (2m3f, good); put some underwhelming efforts behind her back at the scene of her win last time when a 3.75l runner-up (2m2f, good); can be hit or miss and up 2lb. |

11st 7lb |
Similar RPRs in mid 80s in three maiden hurdles last year at 2m-2m1f on varying ground; three decent runs on the Flat since joining this yard so won't lack for fitness in first handicap hurdle; market check advised. |
14/1 |

20th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 179y |
9st 3lb |
Won a 1m5f (good) Leopardstown handicap off basement mark of 40 on final start for Mags Mullins in May; solid first two runs for this yard; 5l third of 16 at Bellewstown (1m4f, good) and denied by short head at Down Royal (1m5f, good) three days ago; big chance off 2lb lower. |
3/1 |

2nd 7 (2) |
17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y |

Bit of promise over hurdles last year for Mags Mullins; made all to beat 18 rivals over this trip on good ground at Leopardstown; little wrong with stable debut third over 1m4f at Bellewstown (second touched off since); 2lb wrong matters little and front-runner is a player. |

Versatile mare gained a first Flat win over C&D at the 22nd attempt last month (Lariat 1.25l behind); ran to her mark over fences at Wexford last time; returns to the scene of her victory 4lb higher and could go well. |

Versatile mare scored on the Flat at Tramore (2m, good) on her latest outing; her sole win from five chase starts came in in this race last year (good) off 107; 5lb higher here but arrives in form and can't be discounted. |

0-8 last year for Willie McCreery; modest enough start for this yard when beaten 14.5l at Gowran (13.5f, soft); eased 1lb and new headgear combination needs to spark. |

Six-time winner, landed successive handicaps at Bellewstown (1m6f) and Down Royal (1m5f, good); 6lb rise and muddling pace found him out at Gowran Park last time; extra distance will help and he can bounce back. |

Five wins, two of them on turf, including 25-1 success over extended 1m6f at Bellewstown earlier this month; needed every yard that day, and his previous win was over 2m; got an 8lb rise, which is likely to prevent a follow-up; placed once in seven previous runs here. |
