Has shown improved form on the Flat lately, winning handicaps at Ballinrobe and Tramore before runner-up at the latter track; now rated 81; was a 2m maiden hurdle winner at Thurles last November; can be competitive. |

Up a total of 13lb for back-to-back wins at Ballinrobe (1m5f, yielding) and over C&D (good) when 2.75l ahead of Marmeladova (that rival 3lb better off now); finished last at Gowran last time (1m5f, good to firm), which is not fully explained by her new rating; can do better back here. |

Winning hurdler is 0-13 on the Flat but several good placings at up to 2m including last month at Ballinrobe when chasing home a ready winner (won again since) over 1m5f; can go well. |

Some good runs in defeat at up to 2m last season; moderate efforts over obstacles were punctuated by an okay fifth of 12 at Bellewstown (1m4f, soft) in April; tailed off at Downpatrick over hurdles last time; cheekpieces go on. |

10st 2lb |
Ran alright when 4l third at Ballinrobe in June (1m5f, yielding) off 6lb higher; well below that level at Tramore and Leopardstown; got going late when sixth of 18 at Cork (1m4f) on latest; down in grade but trip could be sharp; cheekpieces. |

Maiden ran alright when a 4l third at Ballinrobe in June (1m5f, yielding) off 3lb higher but well below that level twice since at Tramore and Leopardstown; may do better back on softer ground and yard in form now so not written off. |
12/1 |

Maiden is 0-7 on turf; not a bad run when 4l third at Ballinrobe (1m5f, yielding) on penultimate, but failed to back it up at Tramore last time; drops markedly in trip now; risky. |

Maiden has run well several times in defeat up to 1m5f; however, was disappointing at Navan last time and cheekpieces are added. |

12st 3lb |
Ended his time with Fergal O'Brien with back-to-back hurdle wins at Taunton and Chepstow in March/April 2024; after a long absence, had two Flat runs (including a satisfactory display at this venue) before being sent back over hurdles at Sligo nine days ago; made all and has a good chance despite 5lb rise. |

1st 1 |
12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 90y |
11st 12lb |
Last hurdles win came in April 2024 when trained by Fergal O'Brien; came back from a long absence for a new yard in the spring and not a bad Flat run last time, so looks a player with cheekpieces added. |
6/1 |

5th 9 (10) |
22nd Jun 2026 Yielding 1m 5f 0y |

Useful 120-rated hurdler with five wins to his name, the last two gained back-to-back for Fergal O'Brien in April/March 2024; after a long absence, was entitled to need the run at Navan in April on his stable debut. |

11st 12lb |
Won off 5lb lower here in May (2m3f, good to yielding); bounced back from two below-par efforts to finish a 3.75l third at Sligo last time (2m5f, good); return to this venue and application of a tongue tie may get a bit more from him. |

6th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 168y |

Gained his second win over hurdles when landing 2m3f Downpatrick handicap in May; withdrawn twice on good ground before allowed to take his chance at Galway last week but never counted on similar ground when midfield over 2m; back up in trip here, any easing in the ground would help his chances. |

Very promising handicap hurdle debut last month at Kilbeggan, chasing clear leader throughout without landing a blow in 16-runner 2m3f contest (good); run here a fortnight later (2m4f) too bad to be true; takes a drop in trip and remains of interest. |

Back to form with a vengeance at Navan last week, relishing the rain-softened ground (officially good) to win going away over 1m6f (Maxwell Smart a never-nearer fourth); up 7lb for that, but stays in this grade. |

Fair third off 70 in a heavy-ground maiden over this trip at Gowran last October; handicap mark going the right way, but overall form disappointing; the drop back in trip could be a positive. |

Standout effort a 3l third in a 9.5f (heavy) maiden at Gowran last October; weakened over 1m5f on seasonal return at Ballinrobe; has had issues in the starting stalls before; cheekpieces added to tongue tie; needs more. |

A long time since his last win, under Keane at the Curragh in 2023 off 13lb higher (1m2f, soft to heavy); not far away again under Keane last summer at Cork (1m4f, good); form since then has been poor, but interesting that Keane is aboard again now. |

Best on good ground and shaped nicely on seasonal return over 1m4f (good) at Roscommon when a 2.5l second; failed to fire at Ballinrobe on latest but didn't get her ground; could rebound on this more suitable surface. |

Started last season brightly with three placed efforts before a 1m5f Navan win; has also begun this season on a positive note when runner-up at Roscommon; only one win from 22 starts (along with six seconds); worth considering if getting a run; second reserve. |

Back to form with close third under a positive ride at Leopardstown (1m7f) in July; another good effort to secure second place when out of the handicap at Tramore (2m); folded tamely at Navan a fortnight ago but big drop in class and dangerous if allowed to dictate from the front. |
