11st 12lb |
No closer than 20l in five defeats over fences and was pulled up back hurdling last time; testing ground was no excuse as he enjoys the mud. |

11st 5lb |
C&D winner off 94 in December 2024; enjoys the mud; jumping issues evident in five poor chase attempts this season; needs to do better but a return to hurdling should help. |

11st 2lb |
Sole career win came at Listowel over hurdles in September (2m6f, good to yielding); okay chase debut in a handicap here (2m5f, good to yielding) in May and improved on that when beaten just half a length back at Listowel last time in a beginners' (2m3f, yielding); this trip looks more suitable and she's in the mix. |

Her sole career win came in a 2m6f handicap hurdle here in September; beaten 22l in a 2m4f handicap on her belated chase debut but it wasn't a bad run. |

11st 11lb |
Much improved to make a successful stable debut in a 2m handicap at Punchestown in May (2m, good to yielding); back over hurdles off a 10lb higher mark since two respectable runs over fences; player. |

3rd 7 |
1st Jun 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Much improved to make a successful stable debut in a 2m handicap hurdle at Punchestown and she nearly followed up on chase debut at Downpatrick (2m3f, good to yielding); jumped soundly enough that day and the one to beat here. |

Left all known form behind when bolting up over hurdles at Punchestown (2m, good to yielding) on stable/handicap debut nine days ago; one place and three non-completions in points but high on the shortlist on chase bow. |

His best hurdles form for Charles Byrnes seems long gone and he's now regressive; well beaten in his previous chase this January. |

Maiden whose three best efforts have come on testing ground at Limerick; has a race in him, but has to prove he acts on this quicker ground. |

11st 12lb |
Close up in a 2m handicap hurdle at Limerick (soft to heavy; first-time tongue-tie) before finishing well behind on his chase debut back there 11 days ago when an early mistake didn't help his cause; could have a part to play if avoiding similar mishaps. |

Maiden's best efforts have come at this track over hurdles, headed on the run-in when third here last month (2m); pulled up sole point outing; stamina to prove on chase debut. |

11st 12lb |
Point winner who went 0-6 over hurdles; led early but ended up tailed off in a 2m4f Limerick handicap on recent chase debut; he does have some ability and this is a desperately weak race. |
16/1 |

8th 7 |
21st May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 157y |
10st 13lb |
Lightly raced 9yo; best effort in course handicap hurdle on latest when fourth of 13 (19.5f, soft to heavy; the third has won since); won a point so could make a chaser; market can guide. |
