11st 0lb |
Gained second hurdles win back on his favoured good ground over 2m1f at Clonmel last month but well held off 4lb higher over slightly further 12 days ago; switches to fences now but lack of experience a possible negative. |

Back on his favoured good ground, he won well at Clonmel (2m) and a 5lb rise isn't the end of the world, having been competitive off this mark before. |

Flat winner has run creditably in defeat recently; started slowly at Sligo and did well to stay on and take third; went one place better at Clonmel; doubt raised by unplaced run at Wexford last time. |

Flat winner has run creditably in defeat recently; missed the start at Sligo (2m2f, good, 7-2 fav) but did well to keep on and take third; went one place better at Clonmel last time when 2.25l behind the winner; a win is coming if her consistency continues and O'Keeffe rides for the first time. |

Won at Limerick (2m3f, good) off 5lb higher last year; consistent sort has finished third in both runs for new yard; this is a higher grade compared to those outings but he's shortlisted. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 55y |

Sole hurdles win came in 2m3f Limerick handicap last May on good; claimed out of Declan Queally's yard at Clonmel in May (4,000euros) and solid start for new connections when staying-on third in 2m4f Clonmel handicap last month; one to consider. |

Is 1-13 over hurdles with the win coming at Limerick last year off 6lb higher (2m3f, good); some decent runs in defeat in claiming hurdles here and at Tramore, when a 12l runner-up (2m1f, good to yielding); makes stable debut. |

Posted some okay efforts in maiden hurdles last summer; tailed off on handicap/stable debut in May, but much better at Clonmel when a 3.5l fourth (2m1f, good); shaped like a return to this sort of trip would suit better that day. |

0-11; pulled up on stable debut at Wexford in May but ran one of her best races at Clonmel last month (2m1f, good) when a 4l fifth; hampered on two separate occasions when fourth over further at Limerick last time (2m7f, good); this trip is on the short side for her, but she appears to have found some form. |

0-10 and was pulled up at Wexford on stable debut in May (2m1f, good to yielding); ran one of her best races at Clonmel over an inadequate extended 2m trip (good) when a 4l fifth, keeping on; this return to further should suit and she has her chance if she can find some consistency. |
