5th Oct 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Second in big-field 2m4f handicap here last year; had a productive summer after being fitted with cheekpieces, pair of Downpatrick wins over 2m6f on goodish ground, and kept her form well after; again showed her dislike of jumping fences last time. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 67y |
11st 7lb |
Both hurdle wins early this summer over 2m6f at Downpatrick, safely held over same C&D last month; let down by jumping when failed to complete on both previous attempts chasing last summer and tries again here. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y |
11st 8lb |
Long-standing maiden has been running well over shorter trips this summer; closely matched with Jonny Carrol on Wexford 2m4f form three weeks ago, and went close over 3m a couple of years ago; new headgear combination |
12/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
7th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 55y |
11st 8lb |
Straight into handicap hurdles after a short spell in points; runner-up over this trip in a class 5 at Perth being her best effort; might have had a little too much use made of her at Downpatrick last time; headgear used that day left on here. |
11/2 |

4th 1 |
14th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y |
11st 7lb |
Point-to-point winner; 0-14 over hurdles but loads of placed efforts to her name, including off 92 in a C&D handicap on penultimate; should go well but rated 95 and likely vulnerable to less exposed rivals; new headgear combination tried. |

11st 5lb |
Off for five months before he was sent off favourite for a 2m6f handicap hurdle at Downpatrick in May; possibly did not quite see out the trip on that occasion; debuts for Noel Kelly here after a further four-month absence and the drop in trip should suit; big player. |
4/1 |

22nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 180y |

Has shown ability including when runner-up in a course bumper; made a respiratory noise in running when soundly beaten on handicap debut at Fairyhouse; never involved at Punchestown in December. |

4th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 4f 110y |

Standout effort a 4l second of 5 in a Downpatrick bumper in July (2m3f, good); makes handicap debut after two heavy defeats in maidens at that venue; best watched on this ground (pulled up twice on heavy in France). |

First reserve; decent handicap hurdle form for new yard, including when second over 2m6f here in May; not her best effort when midfield at Wexford earlier this month (2m1f, good); tries chasing now. |

7th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 180y |

Decent handicap form for new yard; second on stable debut at Sligo in May (2m6f, good), fading late; fourth at Downpatrick (2m6f, good to yielding) later that month; okay fourth at Sligo last time (2m5f, good); drops in trip now but more needed to get home in front. |

17th Oct 2026 Yielding 2m 5f 70y |
10st 7lb |
A revelation at Downpatrick between May and August this year with three wins over 2m6f, the latest when easily defying a mark of 106; form dipped since, including when fourth over the same C&D last month, but the runner-up Harpy Eagle advertised the form with a win at Punchestown on Wednesday; won here on the Flat in the past; player. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 110y |

A revelation around here between May and August this year with three C&D wins, the latest last month when easily defying a mark of 106; the form has been well advertised by the third who won since; never a factor in the Ulster Cesarewitch on the Flat a fortnight ago but big player back at her favoured track. |

Off the mark over hurdles at Wexford on latest (3m, good), showing a willing attitude to score by a neck; 4lb rise for that seems fair but not sure this drop back in trip will suit. |
