Fair novice chaser before going pointing and hunter chasing; again showed his affinity for Killarney when winning a hunter chase there in May before disappointing at Listowel; more needed. |

Has a particular fondness for Killarney and won for the fifth time there three weeks ago, where he beat What Path by 1.5l over a slightly shorter trip; was just doing enough, so headgear back on; likes good ground. |

Another in here with plenty of back-class; visored when disappointing at the Cheltenham Festival but that aid was missing when 15l behind Journey With Me at Cork, where 2m4f was on the sharp side; better expected here. |

1st Jun 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 150y |
11st 7lb |
Useful 3m hurdler for Willie Mullins before fruitless spell over fences in Britain; seems to have been revitalised by point-to-points, winning three in the spring; in contention when slipping up in banks race at Punchestown; chased home Solitary Man at Killarney and 3lb better off here. |

Useful hurdler for Willie Mullins; in good form in points prior to slipping up late on at Punchestown when he was keeping on; still up against it with some of these. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 90y |
11st 7lb |
Decent novice hurdler for Willie Mullins (suited by a sound surface) but still a maiden chaser; however, comes here on the back of three point-to-point wins for Michael Mangan, having earlier chased home Fountain House over the banks at Lingstown; not one to rule out on return to the track. |

Third when odds-on for this race 12 months ago; he'll run better this time if he can repeat his close fourth behind some class acts at Punchestown (3m, yielding). |

1st May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 160y |

7-14 in points and a five-time winner on the track; has often run well in races at this level, notably when second to Its On The line in this race in 2024 and third in the 2025 Aintree Foxhunter; no match for Panda Boy at Thurles in January; readily outpointed by Wonderwall at Dromahane 19 days ago |

Thoroughly reliable performer on points, seven wins and five seconds from 13 starts; also a five-time winner under rules with smart form in this category; best of the Irish when third in last season's Aintree Foxhunters; beaten odds-on chance when third to Bartlemy Boy at Killarney in May; won readily at Turtulla nine weeks ago; rider doing well in points. |

Won the big race on this card three years ago, but handicapper had him after that and well held in this last year; recent form in points/hunter chases doesn't look good enough, but has been dropped sharply in the ratings. |

11st 12lb |
Better chaser than hurdler, as he showed when winning a handicap chase off 120 at Ballinrobe in May; no impact in a 1m4f Tramore maiden since but this longer trip and more conventional track is more likely to suit; could go well. |
20/1 |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Six-time winner over jumps in Britain, best known for his 2023 win in the Old Roan Handicap Chase at Aintree; ordinary form in points and hunter chases for this stable before finding a new lease of life when winning a handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe in May; asking a lot here on belated Flat debut at the age of 11. |

Good hurdle form not all that long ago and has run well in both his points behind the classy Wonderwall (ahead of Lifetime Ambition on one of those occasions); this is his debut over regulation fences but could have a part to play. |

Contested Grade 1s for Henry de Bromhead; reportedly not himself during the winter but got back on track in narrowly repelling 11-8f Asian Master over 2m4f at Cork last month; has a bit to prove over this far but his class is much respected. |

Prolific point-to-pointer (5-11); won a Listowel hunter chase on latest, his second win under rules; trip and ground should be fine on his handicap debut but tricky to assess whether he's well treated off this mark; probably up against it. |
