Tailed off in a Listowel bumper last September on his only start; safe to rule out. |

20,000gns yearling; there's plenty of speed in his good Flat pedigree and stamina not guaranteed for a test such as this. |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 80y |
10st 12lb |
Struggled after winning a bumper on debut; staged a revival last summer when placed in three maiden hurdles; well backed and ran creditably in a Cork rated novice hurdle last time when third (2m2f, good); getting the hang of things and should be thereabouts. |

10st 13lb |
Two previous trainers; struggled after winning a bumper on debut; staged a revival last summer when placed in three maiden hurdles (including over 2m4f here), setting the pace each time; ran well in decent Flat maiden here last month on first start for Kevin Coleman and won't mind good ground; 1lb wrong. |

9st 7lb |
Winning hurdler but 0-9 on the Flat, placed in Clonmel maiden over today's trip last season and more recently staying on third over 1m in Killarney maiden last month; needs to improve on previous handicap efforts though. |

3rd 1 (2) |
12th May 2026 Good 1m 0f 31y |
9st 9lb |
Won a juvenile hurdle by 9l at Punchestown in November 2024; has run well in defeat on the Flat, placed three times, including second at Clonmel last autumn; well below best on seasonal return in a 1m4f handicap at the Curragh; seems most effective at around 1m2f. |

26th May 2026 Standard 1m 2f 150y |
9st 9lb |
Twice finished third at two and missed all of last year; first two runs this term were good, including fifth in decent handicap at Cork; in first-time blinkers, was no match for a patiently-ridden winner after trying to make all at Ballinrobe; first go on Polytrack and related to AW winners. |

8th May 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 1f 133y |
9st 9lb |
Rated 85; has returned from mammoth layoff with encouraging runs in a Gowran maiden (Cracking Cloud a nose behind) and in a handicap at Cork (10.5f, gd-yld); should be thereabouts returned to maiden company in first-time blinkers. |

Coughed after poor return, so forget that; best run last year was strong-finishing fifth at Navan (1m2f, good); tongue-tie on for AW debut and dam won 5f maiden here. |

Solid maiden form last year, the best of those a strong-finishing fifth at Navan over 1m2f (good); rounded off the season with a good fourth at Leopardstown (1m1f, heavy); shortlisted on return with Colin Keane aboard again for red-hot yard. |

9st 5lb |
Maiden was runner up in a division of this race last season for Paul Nolan off 9lb higher; decent fourth for this yard on penultimate at Ballinrobe (9.5f, gd-yld); 1m4f and softer ground not ideal latest; could bounce back. |

Twice placed for Paul Nolan in good-ground handicaps last June; best run so far for current yard when fourth over 9.5f at Ballinrobe, with four of these behind; unproven over this far, though. |

9st 9lb |
Very lightly raced 4yo; promising debut second in 1m Gowran maiden last year, absent for 13 months until third in Roscommon maiden last month over 1m4f, weakening late; back in trip for handicap debut with potential for improvement. |
8/1 |

3rd 6 (5) |
11th May 2026 Good 1m 4f 46y |
9st 4lb |
Plenty to like about her debut run at Gowran (1m, soft) last month, keeping on well for a 6l second of 14; stamina on dam side of pedigree so could improve for this longer trip; player. |
