11st 9lb |
Recorded a third AW win in July; didn't run badly at Galway over 1m4f (yielding to soft) and his lesser effort there next time is likely explained by the fact it came a day later; hood on for hurdling debut and not ruled out. |

Back-to-back Dundalk wins in the spring, and close second at Dundalk last month; previously put up his best turf effort of the season when close third to Darius Dark over 1m4f at the Curragh; steps up in grade. |

Small filly has had some fair runs on turf, but AW third over 1m4f was her first time to be placed; stuck to her task well in first-time cheekpieces that day. |

Maiden has shown glimmers, including when a 5.25l fifth at Navan on latest (1m5f, good); weakened late having led that day so still has stamina to prove in first-time tongue-tie. |

Won on seasonal return at Ballinrobe in May (9.5f, gd-yld); raised 7lb for that and has run well enough without really threatening to win in three starts since; probably in the handicapper's grip for now. |
10/1 |

Twice placed over 10.5f here in November; off the mark over 1m1f at Ballinrobe and fair runs since; hasn't gone this far before but is by a St Leger winner. |

Got off the mark at Ballinrobe (9.5f, gd) last month, showing good attitude to beat Majestic King by 0.75l; beaten 2.75l into sixth under penalty 31 days ago at Killarney from bad draw under more patient tactics; danger but soft ground an unknown. |

Yet to trouble the judge in seven Flat runs; well beaten off 93 on his handicap hurdle debut at Kilbeggan last time (2m, good); others preferred. |

Three runs down the field in juvenile maiden hurdles last season; has run to his level in Flat handicaps since; interesting mark and an attractive jockey booking so could well have a bit to offer here. |

Fair fifth over C&D in May on sole AW run; did nothing in a hurry at Leopardstown (1m1f) on Thursday, but stuck to his task and not beaten far; big horse has one in him, but maybe not quite yet. |

Grand dual-purpose performer has done a lot more Flat racing than hurdling in recent years; had Oh So Charming and Warm In Gorey behind when winning one of these at Wexford in May; 10l third to ready winner Raydamann over C&D the following month, and 4lb pull may not be enough to turn things around. |

AW winner at two in Britain, but has never raced here; won a claiming hurdle two runs back, but trip looks too sharp as well as the query about him on Polytrack. |

Forget his two recent turf runs as they were probably preps for this; useful record here with two wins over 10.5f and some good runs over this trip. |

Dual 1m2f AW winner was running consistently well on the surface last winter; reportedly didn't handle soft ground on turf return last month, improvement expected on this better ground. |

Been running consistently well on the AW for over a year, landing two handicaps, latest in November off this mark; beaten favourite 104 days ago when 2.75l behind Daonethatgotaway over 1m4f; four turf runs have been poor and soft ground unlikely to suit; drawn wide. |

Two-time turf winner below best on grass so far this year and extended AW record to 0-8 when soundly beaten over 1m4f here last month; others arrive in better form. |

Has winning form at this trip and is 6lb lower than when winning at Navan (1m2f, good) just over a year ago; however, badly out of sorts in three runs this term and not easy to fancy on recent form. |

Famous colours and he won 10.5f maiden here in February, but that's weak form and he was lapped on handicap debut at Down Royal; steps up in trip and bred for it. |

29th May 2026 Good 1m 2f 109y |

Nicely improved for step up to today's trip at Dundalk in February, clear with second in winning maiden; seemingly likes a sound surface so could have more to offer here back on turf for handicap debut. |

Kept on for sixth in decent 7f Gowran maiden on debut in August; tailed off last on heavy ground at Listowel (1m) next time; returns with yard in red-hot form and is half-brother to two AW winners; check betting. |
