28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Talented 8yo was well held when 8-1 (same price as Rocky's Diamond) in Galway Plate; easy winner of 3m conditions hurdle at Cork previously and won 2m handicap at the Curragh on Derby weekend (now rated 95 on the level); only third of five when favourite for this last year, but has improved in the interim. |

29th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |

2-4 over fences, though not seen in this discipline since well held in a Grade 3 at this fixture two years ago; he returns in excellent form, in recent weeks winning on the Flat (2m) and over hurdles at Cork (3m); could have a big run in him. |

Smart dual-purpose type won a nice Flat prize over 2m a fortnight ago; came off worse in a couple of 3m clashes with Happy Jacky last year, but not by much, including when beaten a head in the corresponding race; relishes good ground. |

29th Jul 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 110y |
10st 2lb |
Three flat wins for Michael Bell came at 1m6f on quick ground; ordinary enough hurdles form for current yard but fine run on the flat over this trip at the Curragh on Derby weekend back on decent ground, only losing second late on when 2lb out of handicap; down in grade here and tongue-tie tried; has to be respected. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 76y |

Dual-purpose; 3-13 on the Flat for Michael Bell, all three wins over 1m6f on fast ground; has placed AW form at around this trip; modest form on easy ground over hurdles so far for this yard but return to quicker conditions on the Flat could revive; 2lb wrong. |

16th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 174y |
9st 8lb |
The lack of any win since a maiden hurdle in January 2024 (first run for Willie Mullins) is a concern but he's produced solid efforts on Flat over trips ranging from 1m6f-20.5f on his last four starts and no shock if he's on the premises eased in grade. |

The lack of any win since a maiden hurdle in January 2024 (first run for Willie Mullins) is a concern but he's produced solid efforts on Flat over 2m2f, 1m6f and 2m on his last three starts and may well be an out-and-out stayer; no shock if he's on the premises. |

19th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
1m4f Flat winner at last year's Galway festival and took a maiden hurdle this January; that's from 14 races for Donnacha O'Brien, for whom he was a promising third of 24 to Westminster Moon (1m6f, good) in May and a fair fifth over 2m in June; not beaten far when ninth in 2m Shergar Cup race at Ascot but that shows he needs marked improvement in today's first-time visor (1-8 in cheekpieces), replacing a tongue-tie. |
16/1 |

9th 3 (7) |
8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 209y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Hurdle/Flat winner; ran in snatches when a 5l fifth in a 2m fast-ground handicap at the Curragh on what proved to be his final start for Donnacha O'Brien; that last run was his first on ground quicker than good and he does like the mud. |
7/1 |
|
5th 4 (7) |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 76y |

Dual-purpose; hurdle winner is 1-9 on the Flat; has come up dry since winning a Galway Festival maiden last July (12.5f, yielding); kept on nicely for third over 1m6f here latest (Delta behind); raised 2lb for that but should go well again up in trip. |

Dead-heated for third in this race last year; struggled in top company as a novice hurdler after a maiden win at Punchestown in February; needs to improve on what he has shown on the Flat this term. |

17th 12 (22) |
22nd Aug 2026 Good To Soft 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 4lb |
Registered his highest rating in 1m6f Listed race on soft ground last April (his only time front-running); always prominent when strong finish took him to a handicap win at the Curragh (1m6f, yielding) this term and, although he wasn't discredited over 2m later in June, this trip on softer than good may well be the best fit; wears headgear for the first time. |
20/1 |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 76y |
10st 2lb |
Stayed on well to gain third career success off 8lb lower here on latest (1m6f, yielding); both previous runs at around this trip have not been his best so could be vulnerable upped in distance on quicker ground off career high mark. |

Veteran; talented hurdler a latecomer to the Flat but showed promise in maidens and bolted up on handicap debut in this sphere at Listowel 26 days ago (2m, good); hiked up 9lb for that and this is a deeper race but he can't be discounted. |
9/2 |

1st 1 (4) |
31st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 40y |
10st 4lb |
Good quality NH performer, including when good fourth in BetMGM Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham; took the runner-up spot in a Ballinrobe maiden (1m5f, good to yielding) last time when 7l behind the winner; must carry top weight for Flat handicap debut but big chance. |

8th May 2026 Yielding To Soft 1m 4f 183y |
10st 7lb |
High-class NH performer, most recently good fourth in BetMGM Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham; two previous Flat runs were on the Dundalk AW, notably previous month when 2l third of 10 over 1m4f; ground no problem, not sure the tight track will suit. |

Fairyhouse maiden winner over 1m4f last year was also third in a Listed race; some solid runs in defeat in quality handicaps this year but has been a bit underwhelming overall; however, should go close if back to his best. |

15th Aug 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

Fairyhouse maiden winner last season (1m4f, good to yielding); made a cracking return to action in May when fourth in a big-field handicap at the Curragh (1m6f, good); has disappointed as favourite in two runs since at the Curragh (2m1f, good to firm) and at Leopardstown in a five-runner conditions event (1m7f, good, 4-6); capable of more. |

Fairyhouse maiden winner last season (1m4f); cracking run on seasonal return in big field 1m6f handicap at the Curragh in May; latest run over 2m back there disappointing (cheekpieces tried then are discarded) but capable of better, is rated 91 and Patrick Mullins is an eye-catching booking. |

Eight wins over hurdles and going for three in a row in this race, landing previous two renewals under this jockey; beat Reverend Hubert by a head last year; after eight months off, comeback third in Killarney chase was a good effort; quiet since but can't rule him out. |

Veteran has notched up nine wins over jumps but is 1-9 on the Flat and hasn't won in this sphere since 2024; however, he was a close third in this last season off 1lb higher on good ground so he's not dismissed; 1lb wrong. |
