Yet to win after eight Flat starts but took a Down Royal maiden hurdle in May; solid effort over 1m4f at Galway last month (yielding to soft); two-day break possibly to blame when disappointed over hurdles back there last time; others appeal more. |

Stable won this in 2022 and 2023; this mare is 0-9 over hurdles but has finished runner-up seven times, including her sole handicap start two outings ago; looks handicapped about right but has each-way claims. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 55y |
11st 12lb |
Bumper winner at this track on debut three years ago; ran with credit in four winners' bumpers since despite a stop-start career; promising hurdles debut for new yard when beaten 6l at Down Royal (2m1f, good) 33 days ago, still signs of greenness after nearly a year off; could improve a lot and a leading contender with step up in trip sure to suit. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 88y |
11st 12lb |
Punchestown bumper winner on debut in 2023 for Dermot McLoughlin; has had an interrupted career since, but has run respectably in four winners' bumpers in that time; worth a market check on hurdles/stable debut after another break. |

Won a Punchestown bumper on debut in 2023; was then off for a year before running respectably in two winners' bumpers; back after another year off when an 8l runner-up at Tipperary last time; carries a 7lb penalty but this isn't a strong race and he is a big player. |

9st 6lb |
Returned to Flat with an eye-catching effort at Royal Ascot (2m4f); going back down to 1m6f didn't look a problem at Glorious Goodwood (again good to firm) 18 days ago but he suffered a nightmare passage before running on into second of 13 (Valedictory fifth); a 4lb rise adds salt to the wounds but he could still have a big chance. |

1m4f festival wins off much lower marks at Chester and Epsom last July when trained by the Moores; returned to Flat with an eye-catching effort at Royal Ascot (2m4f, good to firm; 12-1) last month, turning for home towards rear but running on into sixth of 20; back down in trip but one to note. |

1m4f festival wins off much lower marks at Chester and Epsom preceded his 100,000gns purchase last July; two Flat runs (including 2m Irish Cesarewitch) last autumn didn't work out but there was encouragement to be drawn from his two hurdle races last month (second on latest) and he scored over an extended 1m6f in 2024; not entirely dismissed, from stable which runs seven. |

Point winner won a Wexford bumper last year; looked like the winner when fallling at the last on hurdles debut over 2m6f here last October; was then narrowly beaten by subsequent Grade 1 winner I'll Sort That in a Navan Grade 3 over 2m; will be difficult to beat if repeating that form on return. |

Jukebox Jury gelding cost 45,000euros as a foal and 105,000euros as a 3yo; third foal; dam placed in bumper/hurdles/chases, half-sister to Cork Grand National winner Mattock Ranger; point-to-point winner showed good level of form in bumpers last season, runner-up here and at Fairyhouse before scoring at Wexford in March, still looking a work in progress; likely major player switched to hurdles. |
