Progressive mare won handicaps at Ballinrobe and Kilbeggan earlier this term, and added a further win with career-best in taking 2m6f Galway conditions event early this month, produced late to win going away; clearly in terrific form, although drop back to 2m may not be ideal. |

Back to back handicap hurdle wins at Ballinrobe and Kilbeggan earlier this term; fine effort to finish a 2.75l third of 20 off 126 in the Tribes here last month; beaten favourite on the Flat at Tramore sole start since; mares' allowance and rider's claim bring her into the picture. |

Has been in the form of her career this season, winning handicap hurdles at Ballinrobe and Kilbeggan before finishing a close third at Galway; now rated 129 in that sphere so has to be respected on Flat debut over a trip that will suit. |

Ballinrobe bumper winner for Andrew Slattery last year; won 2m Punchestown maiden hurdle last October on stable debut and has run well in defeat since, notably chasing home 10l winner Paul's Dream in 2m4f Kilbeggan handicap and most recently fine third of 20 over best trip of 2m in Galway Hurdle (several of these behind); 2lb rise but big player. |

Well beaten over 2m6f at Galway, but previous two handicap hurdle runs over this trip were creditable; second to Sequoiaspirit at Roscommon and third in a Kilbeggan heat that has worked out well; interesting on his chase debut and not hard to see him involved with adequate jumping. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 40y |

No win over fences since 2023 but is in good heart; beaten a neck at Kilbeggan (20.5, good) last month and beaten 15l into fifth in Galway Blazers eight days ago, may have made a better go of it but for being caught in a pocket between the final two fences; his third start in just over two weeks but chance if he doesn't feel the effects of that. |

31st Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |

Hasn't won over fences since 2023 but comes into this in good form; beaten just a neck in a Kilbeggan handicap chase (20.5f, good) on latest; raised 1lb for that and this is tougher but has run well on both previous visits to this venue so not totally discounted. |
