Back to winning ways on the Flat at Tramore in July (2m, good); not beaten far in a handicap chase at Wexford in early August (15.5f, good) and 1lb lower now; okay run back on the Flat at Tramore 20 days ago; remains 4lb above sole chase win. |

Won for the first time over hurdles at Wexford in July (2m1f, good) off 9lb lower; held his form well in two Flat starts following that; appealing back over obstacles. |

Dual-purpose sort has got the hang of things in recent starts; won over hurdles at Wexford and backed that up with a close third on the Flat at Tramore (2m, good); place claims at the very least again off the same mark. |
3/1 |

3rd 1 (3) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
10st 4lb |
Soundly beaten at big odds in handicap hurdles at this venue (11th of 12 finishers) and Sligo (last of 16) before showing dramatic improvement to win at Wexford last Friday; trainer suggested that the removal of a hood might have been a major factor; hard to find any positives in last season's form in Flat maidens; good Flat pedigree, unwise to discount. |

Excellent effort on seasonal return at Listowel (2m, good) in May; unplaced on next two starts; worth considering now having finished second in a 22-runner 1m6f event at this venue last week. |

Long-standing dual-purpose maiden; 0-8 over hurdles and handicap form has been poor; dropped another 3lb after a 32l defeat at Cork on latest but still hard to fancy. |
20/1 |

9th 11 (9) |
15th Aug 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

Maiden gelding by Frankel; has shown potential for a belated breakthrough in his three Flat runs this term, the latest when sixth over C&D (4-1 fav), where today's rider was banned for stopping riding late on (4.5l behind Lariat); others more appealing. |
10/1 |

Maiden gelding by Frankel; started his career with the Gosdens; has shown potential for a belated breakthrough in his two most recent races; recovered from interference at the start to finish fourth over this trip at Down Royal in May; leading contender based on his second to solid yardstick Jurality over 1m5f at Navan; same good 7lb claimer aboard now. |

Three-time winner over hurdles for Paul Kiely; ran well despite jumping left on her stable debut at Listowel last month; down the field in a Tramore Flat handicap since; would not be a total surprise if she got involved. |

Won three handicaps for previous yard and likes good ground; 1m6f Flat winner last year when her hurdles form wasn't great; has dropped down to last winning mark, but not a hectic record when fresh and last two wins have come in cheekpieces. |

Grand dual-purpose mare was second in a division of this last year, and went on to win readily (in a visor) on heavy at Galway; some good runs in defeat this year and headgear back on; notable jockey booking too. |

11th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 208y |
10st 6lb |
Won three times under both codes last year (twice at Sligo); best hurdles run this year when a clear second in 2m3f Downpatrick mares' handicap in June (good); solid effort when third at Sligo (2m5f) on latest, but she's better over shorter than this. |

3rd 7 |
6th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 168y |

Won here under both codes last year, including 2m2f mares' handicap hurdle off 81; best hurdle run this year when a clear second in 2m3f Downpatrick mares handicap in June (good), poor run on the Flat at Tramore since; unproven over this far. |

Lightly raced since back-to-back wins over hurdles in 2023; on second start for this yard, bolted up over this trip at Ballinrobe where cheekpieces went on for the first time and usual tongue-tie was discarded; 13lb rise still leaves him eligible for basement grade. |

Dual hurdles winner is 0-10 on the Flat (0-4 on turf); beaten 45l on stable debut after long layoff at Tramore latest; may need another run or two to find form; cheekpieces on. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |

Point winner whose sole win in 23 starts under rules came in a Down Royal maiden hurdle last May; not shown much this year until chase debut at Tramore last time, falling two out when still in contention (Drop A Threat fourth); should build on that. |
