20th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 179y |
9st 13lb |
Admirable veteran gained a fourth turf win on the Flat at Sligo in May (1m6f, yld-sft); has come up short off revised mark since but has C&D form figures of 124 and the win came off 6lb higher than he is here; could go well. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 109y |
10st 0lb |
Dual-purpose veteran; winner of nine races across both codes; bolted up at Sligo in May (1m6f, yld-sft) off 6lb lower; struggled the last twice however, and previous runs here have not been his best. |

10st 1lb |
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. |

14th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 2f 185y |
10st 2lb |
Four wins last year, two on the Flat, two over hurdles; placed twice on the level this year and good run from well out of the handicap in 2m Ballinrobe hurdle last time; this trip might just stretch her stamina. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 13y |

Has been running well on the Flat; fair hurdles record but 13lb out of the handicap here; tough task in the circumstances, though rider's 5lb allowance will help. |

Best hurdle run came when third at Downpatrick last time in this sphere, but was poor on the Flat since, so has to put that effort behind him. |

8th 5 (1) |
2nd Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 109y |
9st 6lb |
Just 1-21 on the Flat but not beaten far the last twice; closely matched with Kevin The Great on Navan running earlier this month; didn't quite see out 2m2f at Down Royal latest; goes well here and big chance back down in trip off last winning mark for local yard. |
5/1 |

3rd 3 |
14th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 165y |

Glimmers of promise in maiden hurdles last year and rated 102; decent effort off lowly mark on the Flat at Navan on latest (1m5f, good); rider takes off useful 7lb and would have a place chance on best form over timber. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 116y |

Second runner for James Nash; dual-purpose mare has won twice over hurdles; maiden in this sphere but her fourth to You Make Me Smile in last year's renewal was one of her best Flat runs and she has a nice pull at the weights; place chance. |

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. |

Old boy has won 12 races in all under both codes, mostly from the front; C&D winner in 2024 and was placed over 1m4f last year, but he's pushing on now and tailed off over fences last time. |

All three hurdling wins have come here (two over 2m4f and one at this trip); well backed on the Flat here in May but was well beaten (1m6f, yielding to soft); 8lb above last winning mark, but not ruled out back over hurdles. |
12/1 |

7th 11 (10) |
3rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 190y |

Mayo contender was a revelation for his new trainer last year; won three hurdles on decent ground here, latest over 3m1f; showed nothing in Flat maidens as a youngster, but he's a different model nowadays and could be very well in; has won off similar layoff. |
4/1 |

Speedily-bred but won back-to-back 2m4f handicap hurdles at this track early in the summer; found out by a higher mark since but ran well on chasing debut last time, both here; this trip is a question. |

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. |
