8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
10st 9lb |
Limited Flat maiden but doing better over hurdles and after winning his maiden at Down Royal he ran well at the weights in a rated hurdle at Wexford; has form claims for sure but this softer ground might not be preferable, especially over this longer trip. |

10st 10lb |
A 69-rated Flat maiden; struggled to make an impression in juvenile hurdles last winter and was a rank outsider in the Triumph; came good in a maiden at Down Royal early this month; won readily and left an impression that he can continue on the upgrade on summer ground. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Five Flat wins in UK and ran respectably in two autumn Flat starts for this yard after 100,000gns purchase; previous efforts over hurdles were modest but there was promise in his run at Down Royal (2m2f, good) earlier this month when staying on for fourth; entitled to improve over that return; contender. |
