Finally made the breakthrough in 2m3f Downpatrick maiden in June (good) at the 35th attempt; most recently just okay effort at Kilbeggan back in handicap company; more needed. |

11st 12lb |
Finally made the breakthrough in a Downpatrick maiden hurdle in June (2m3f, good) at the 35th attempt, having placed on numerous occasions; didn't bring that momentum to a beginners' chase at Wexford last time when pulled up after he made a bad mistake at the first and lost his action; overall record is off-putting. |

Long-standing maiden finally got it done when winning readily over hurdles last month; second in three of 13 chase starts, and some fair runs over fences without being placed in April/May; these types can kick on once they get their heads in front, and Donoghue prefers him to Sophia Rose. |

11st 12lb |
Positives to take from his bumper runs and again when third of 15 on hurdle debut at Clonmel (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie); has to enter the equation in a race of this nature. |

Improved form in bumpers at Kilbeggan and here (2m) the last twice; tongue-tie goes on for hurdles debut and can be involved if his jumping holds up. |

11st 4lb |
Has posted several solid efforts in defeat over hurdles, with best form coming at Clonmel; however, was pulled-up in a tongue-tie at Killarney last time but that is left off today so can rebound. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 85y |

Some decent efforts in defeat in maidens and handicaps in varying ground conditions; beaten favourite in a Clonmel maiden last time; steps up in trip today and a tongue-tie added; needs more but not ruled out. |
8/1 |

The best of five hurdle runs came when a 1l runner-up in a C&D handicap in April; not as good at Limerick since in more testing ground; can run well but has a bit to find with the best of these. |

10st 0lb |
Hasn't won since landing premier handicap at the Curragh in October 2024 (1m2f, good); remains 6lb above that last success but shaped as though coming back to form at the Curragh on latest and ran well at this meeting in 2023 and 2024; could go well. |

28th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y |
9st 12lb |
No joy since winning over 1m2f here (good) in September 2024; didn't fire last season and no sign of a revival in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel in sole run this year; remains 3lb above last success. |
20/1 |

5th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 113y |

Useful bumper and Flat winner, his last win coming in a 1m2f Curragh premier handicap in 2024; some fine efforts in defeat in strong company last year but disappointing on final start; made mistakes when disappointing on second hurdle start in 2023; the one to beat if his jumping holds up. |

AW winner over 1m6f; fit from hurdling, poor recent form; others have much stronger credentials. |

AW winner over 1m6f; modest hurdles form in three maidens and a handicap, and holds the lowest rating of these; visor on for the first time over jumps. |

Won on the AW for John McConnell in April last year; no show in three runs over hurdles but may do better now sent handicapping; check market. |

In contention when stumbling and falling two out on hurdling debut at Clonmel; still looked raw when third at Ballinrobe last month; should contend. |

21st Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 89y |

Tailed off in soft-ground bumper here last year; was shaping well on hurdling debut at Clonmel when knuckling on landing two out, fourth at the time and with running left to give; well beaten in Roscommon novice latest, but the three ahead of him were all previous winners; place chance. |
