11st 12lb |
Half-brother to top-class State Man made a winning hurdles debut at Tramore last year; ran a decent race behind stablemate El Fabiolo at Leopardstown in March; fading in third when falling at the last at Cork and poor jumping took its toll when pulled up at Punchestown; goes chasing now; has twice been scratched on good-to-yielding ground, which is a concern. |

11st 12lb |
Tramore maiden winner (yielding) last year; after a long layoff, was no match for stablemate El Fabiolo at Leopardstown but was running well considering he faced a stiff task at the weights when a faller at the last (held in third) behind two 150+ rated rivals over 2m at Cork over Easter; half-brother to State Man remains unexposed and could go well if staying this longer trip (Townend's choice); hood back on. |

11st 12lb |
Half-brother to Ben Pauling's smart 3m chaser Henry's Friend; two wins over hurdles last year at up to 2m6f; made mistakes in his point-to-points before that and this trip will be too sharp for him on chase debut. |

Maiden and 2m6f novice winner last year represents a stable in fine form and will be better for last month's Killarney return. |

11st 7lb |
Maiden/novice winner whose latest run in December was too bad to be true; posted an RPR of 126 in his latest victory and that suggests this mark should be workable on handicap debut. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Won a point and bumper and made all to beat the useful Frankie John on hurdling debut at the Listowel festival; not seen after until meeting defeat for the first time at the Punchestown festival, too keen after his absence and dropping right out; chase debut. |
2/1 |

30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 90y |
11st 12lb |
Unbeaten in a point (2024), Kilbeggan bumper and Listowel maiden hurdle last year, beating the useful Frankie John on last occasion; isn't the yard's first-string but can be a player if ready enough on return. |
5/1 |

11st 12lb |
Winner of sole point start and made immediate impact under rules when winning a Kilbeggan bumper by 2.25l when last seen in June (2m, good); that wasn't the strongest bumper, although the second has run well in the interim; of obvious interest given connections. |

11st 12lb |
Jack Kennedy's first ride back after a layoff; dual winning hurdler and fair level of form over fences, although still not the most fluent at times; remote third behind two useful sorts in 2m novice at Roscommon last time; looks beatable. |
7/2 |

3rd 6 |
8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 100y |
11st 2lb |
122 rated hurdler has shown ability in all three chase starts but jumping errors have held him back; beaten 11l when runner up behind Net Boy at Ballinrobe latest (2m1f, good); place claims again. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 9 |
25th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 54y |
11st 12lb |
2-7 over hurdles and rated 122 in that sphere; promise in two of three chase starts and rated 120 over fences; beaten 7l over 19.5f (good) at Down Royal latest when a mistake two out proved costly; ground fine here and shorter trip a plus; big player. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Smart five-time winner over hurdles and ran well in two useful handicaps in May; 3-1, jumped well out in front before tiring on chase debut over 2m4f at Kilbeggan; could be hard to beat over this trip. |
5/2 |

5th 6 |
15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Very useful five-time winning hurdler who has put in two promising runs this year when second in competitive Killarney handicap (2m1f, gd) in May off 136 before running to a similar level when beaten 7l into third at Kelso 22 days ago; steps up in trip on chase debut and could be good enough to make a winning start. |
5/2 |

3rd 1 |
24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Took this in good style 12 months ago; lightly raced since but advanced his form after nine months off when second of ten in 2m1f handicap at Killarney 15 days ago; up 4lb here but this Irish challenger rates a player. |

11st 12lb |
Useful juvenile hurdler the season before last; best run last term when fifth off 130 in 2m4f handicap at Leopardstown over Christmas; tailed off over 3m1f on chase debut, but he's definitely not a two-miler either; headgear. |
16/1 |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 157y |
11st 12lb |
No joy since Leopardstown maiden hurdle win in December 2024; poor form in that sphere last season and not an obvious candidate for chasing on breeding; others appeal more. |
