26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |
11st 5lb |
Five-time winner under all codes; broke his chasing duck despite some novicey jumping in a 2m3f novice at Wexford in July; kept on late, after losing his place, in a similar handicap chase at Kilbeggan three weeks ago after a fine effort over hurdles at Galway; the type to keep improving over fences and this trip is more suitable; contender. |

4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |
12st 0lb |
Won a beginners' chase easily at Wexford in July (19.5f, good); ran another solid race on latest when runner-up in a Listed handicap hurdle at Galway; 6lb lower back over fences, handles most ground and obvious chance off top weight. |

Won over fences last time at Wexford (2m3f); dual hurdle winner and has posted some smart form in this sphere over shorter; has a chance if getting back to best hurdle form and staying this trip. |

11st 2lb |
Sole win came in heavy ground handicap hurdle last year; consistent in seven chase starts; arguably career best when beaten 11l into third by Vicar Street at Galway eight days ago; drop back in trip fine and he's going the right way; good claims. |

Winning hurdler over 2m4f on heavy; pick of six attempts chasing when worn down late in a 2m7f Limerick handicap last Christmas (soft-to-heavy) and when chasing home a useful sort in a Wexford beginners' event four weeks ago; trainer saddled a smart novice winner here on Tuesday. |

24th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 73y |
11st 12lb |
Dual winner over hurdles has plenty of chasing experience; after seven months off, nice return to action when third at Wexford; bad mistake early on and nearly lost rider when 11-1 for Galway Blazers, doing well in the circumstances to finish seventh and that race is working out well. |
5/1 |

7th 15 |
31st Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
10st 9lb |
2-7 over hurdles; 0-6 over fences but has run well in defeat, including when a close third behind Intense Approach in a C&D beginners' here last year; weighted to reverse that form and shaped promisingly in prep run after 218 days off at Wexford; could be on a nice mark for first handicap chase. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |

Dual hurdles winner last year at about 2m4f; good bit of chasing experience, notably third in 2m6f Galway beginners' last summer and second in 3m Clonmel novice; fourth in this race last year. |

123-rated hurdler whose best form is on softer ground; unseated on last month's chase debut at Punchestown when leading; can't be ruled out if putting in a clear round. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 157y |
11st 12lb |
Chase debutant; rated 123 over timber; won maiden hurdle here in February (2m7f, sft-hvy); poor efforts in handicap hurdles the last twice; related to useful chase winners and not discounted for top yard. |

Kilbeggan bumper winner a year ago got off the mark over hurdles when easily winning a 2m7f maiden here in February on heavy ground; ran too freely when pulled-up as favourite at Fairyhouse since; has a shout if settling better. |

Is 2-12 over hurdles and rated 99; ran to an RPR of 111 when a 13.75l fifth of 11 on his chase debut in a beginners' at Wexford (19.5f, good), fading late on after making most of the running; worth a go at this shorter trip on that evidence; place claims. |

Bumper and maiden hurdle win came on very testing ground at Navan in February (2m); didn't count on last month's chase debut at Kilbeggan, but entitled to come on for the experience. |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner, coming in easy success in very testing ground at Navan in February; consistent in maidens and handicaps prior to to being tailed off at Cork 71 days ago; rated 123 over hurdles and should have place claims if transferring form to fences. |

Bumper (here) and hurdle winner's best run over fences was on penultimate in a 2m3f beginners' at Wexford; soundly beaten in claiming hurdle latest and new headgear combination on for handicap chase debut; stamina a query at this trip. |

Won a bumper and two hurdle races, including a C&D maiden last year; the best of four chase runs this year came at Wexford last time; has a fair bit to do off topweight back to hurdles today. |

One of three for yard; 1-6 over hurdles and rated 121; promising start over fences when a 2.75l third at Wexford (2m7f,gd-yld); soundly beaten over 19.5f (good) back there on latest, overlooked by Townend and this trip may be on the sharp side. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |

Very useful staying hurdler, winning 2m4f handicap here and 3m contests at Listowel and Leopardstown last term; career-best when last seen finishing third of 24 in 3m Listed handicap at Punchestown festival in April; closely related to yard's good chaser San Salvador, so good chance he'll take to chasing; trip on the short side, but has won around here before so greatly respected. |
