27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y |
9st 11lb |
Dual-purpose veteran and a multiple winner in both codes; won off 3lb lower at Sligo in May (1m6f, yld-sft); well beaten over hurdles at Galway on latest but is 9lb lower than when a 2.5l third over C&D last summer so not written off. |

Admirable veteran gained a fourth turf win on the Flat at Sligo in May; has come up short off revised mark since; first run over hurdles since unseating at Cork in March last year for Sneezy Foster; others more likely. |

6th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 168y |
10st 11lb |
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. |

8th 5 (6) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |

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. |

9st 7lb |
Sole win came off 1lb lower at Down Royal (1m5f, good) last September; close third behind Anightaway and Eastern Wind at Sligo on latest and his good run over 1m5f here in June wasn't his first solid effort at this track (fourth in this last year); chance. |

Is 4lb below her last win but first two runs since joining this yard have not been her best; beaten 86l over C&D on latest in July; hard to fancy on recent showings. |
25/1 |
|
14th 7 |
24th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 200y |
11st 4lb |
Dual hurdles winner for James Nash, the latest in April last year at Down Royal (2m4f, good) off 2lb higher; signed off with a moderate effort in a Clonmel claiming hurdle for his former stable in May; stable debut for new yard on Flat at Bellewstown was nothing to shout about either. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y |
8st 10lb |
Sole success came on yielding ground in this race last year when a 33-1 shot; same mark now but beaten 11.5l on sole start this season at Sligo in May; would probably prefer an ease in the ground. |

Got a win on the board over 1m6f at Navan in August but well held afterwards, and is probably going to need this first run of the year. |

16th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 140y |
11st 6lb |
Veteran who is 12-115 under all codes; five-time course winner, four times over jumps; dual C&D winner, latest 12 months ago off 7lb higher; much below best last two vists here but dangerous to completely write off in a winnable race at a venue he loves. |
9/1 |
|
6th 8 (11) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 3lb |
114-race veteran, winner of 11 races; best known as a four-time course jumps winner; also C&D winner; most recent success came over fences here last October; well below best on his last three visits, years may be catching up, but premature to write off. |
6/1 |
|
7th 10 |
29th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 110y |

Veteran; five-time chase winner including three over C&D; last won here last August off 99 and 3lb lower now; recent efforts have been underwhelming, however, and blinkers are reached for. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 200y |

Sligo specialist; three wins there last year and twice placed there this season; first-time blinkers seemed to help when third over 3m2f last time, with Keep Em Quite and Ilbdare behind. |
9/1 |

3rd 4 |
19th Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 168y |
11st 7lb |
All three hurdle wins have come at this venue at 2m4f and 3m2f on decent ground; best run this year when just failing to get up over C&D last month (good); found the competition too hot at Galway; now blinkered for the first time after a tame effort here 13 days ago. |

6th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 168y |

All three hurdle wins have come here at 2m4f and 3m2f on decent ground; standout run this year when just failing to get up over 3m2f last month (good); tame Galway effort last week but has to be respected back here with such a good record at the track. |

With the exception of a decent effort on debut, her maiden form was moderate; well beaten on handicap debut over 1m6f at Sligo last time; cheekpieces replace the tongue tie worn that day. |

Maiden after 30 starts under all rules but did run well off this mark in a Down Royal chase last time in this sphere; needs to find more to get off the mark. |

3rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 190y |

Modest dual-purpose performer has done little Flat racing of late; returned from nearly two years off in October and ran well when fourth in long-distance chase last month, but easy to look elsewhere. |

3rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 190y |

Donegal yard likes to pick up horses with back-form, often from Britain, and try to rejuvenate them; six-time winner at up to 2m but hasn't been finishing out his races in Ireland and been off a while. |
18/1 |

8th 9 (9) |
16th Jan 2026 Standard 2m 0f 0y |

Six-time winner for Charlie Johnston and best form over this trip; poor on first two runs for this yard at big prices; better than bare result when beaten over 5l at Gowran last May; yard's first runner of the year won on Tuesday; no surprise were he to go well after a break with leading claimer aboard. |

Placed twice for Andy Oliver last summer, including a narrow defeat at Naas (10.5f, good); after a long layoff, well held on both starts for current yard this term on much softer ground (headgear combination tried on latest now ditched); return to better ground could see an improvement. |
