11st 6lb |
Both wins for this yard have come on rain softened ground at around 2m4f; had been in decent form over timber before pulling up at Killarney last time (2m7f, good, jockey reported never travelled); may need softer ground. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 180y |

In fine form, winning over 2m4f at Punchestown festival and good efforts off much higher marks since, chasing home an 8l winner over this trip at Ballinrobe and not quite getting home over 3m1f when third at Kilbeggan last month; trip/ground okay and should go well again. |

In fine form; won by 11l off 12lb lower at Punchestown (19.5f, yielding); creditable 8l second of 16 off revised mark at Ballinrobe (22.5f, good), staying on well; step up in trip looks a good move on that evidence and should go well again off 1lb higher. |

Dual-purpose; no win over hurdles since Fairyhouse maiden success in February 2024 (2m, heavy); shaped ok when staying on for 16.5l fifth behind Jacovec Cavern on seasonal return but didn't back it up when 5-1 favourite at Ballinrobe (22.5f, good) latest; stamina to prove now up in trip. |

Sole success over hurdles a Fairyhouse maiden (2m, heavy) in February 2024; beaten a head off 3lb lower at the Galway Festival last August (2m1f, good); shaped like this trip might suit when remote third behind Jacovec Tavern at Punchestown (19.5f, yielding) in sole start since; could go well. |

118-rated hurdler won 2m7f Thurles novice last season (yielding) and chased home a clear winner in 3m novice here last month on similar ground; left with plenty to do in first-time cheekpieces last week when staying on into a remote fourth over inadequate 2m4f at the Punchestown festival; needs to improve for switch to fences to feature in a major way. |

Blew apart a 15-runner Pertemps qualifier at Chepstow (2m7f) in February 2023 and underlined how effective he can be in big-field races when seeing off 24 rivals in a handicap at the Punchestown festival (2m3f, yielding) last spring; hasn't come close to reproducing that form in three outings this winter but his mark has eased a little as a result; worth a second look in the betting. |

11st 2lb |
Course 2m7f winner over fences; may have needed chase run early this month after a break; not without a chance despite a mark 6lb higher than his chase rating. |

10st 6lb |
Comfortably justified favouritism at Punchestown last October (2m7f, good to yielding) when returned to fences, adding to his summer hurdles win at Galway; a long way below his best on heavy at Cheltenham in November; better at Leopardstown at Christmas; trainer has saddled the winner of this in two of the last three seasons; Aine O'Connor won it in 2017. |
