10st 9lb |
Bumper and dual hurdle winner up to 2m4f (rated 132); the best of two Flat runs when beaten 11l in a 1m4f maiden at Galway last time; this longer trip will suit better and is a big player. |

Bumper winner; recorded a second hurdles win when beating Paul Townend's Galway Hurdle mount Murcia at Killarney; beaten 21l in seventh in a C&D maiden for amateur riders here on Wednesday; may get closer this time. |

Hurdle rating went up to a career-high 132 after winning 2m5f Killarney mares event 13 days ago, needing every yard to get up close home (good); one to consider on Flat debut. |

10st 11lb |
Grade 1 juvenile winner at Aintree (2m1f, gd-sft) in April 2025; best run last season when fourth at Leopardstown in February; struggled in valuable handicaps at three festivals, with soft ground probably to blame; regained the winning thread in mares' race at Listowel in May; beaten favourite for a similar race at Killarney; Paul Townend's choice, has to be taken seriously. |

2nd 2 |
16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 85y |
11st 5lb |
Grade 1 winner at Aintree (2m1f, gd-sft) in April 2025; regained the winning thread in mares' race at Listowel (16.5f, good) on latest (Grainne A Chroi 6.25l behind); the one to beat on ratings, but has never run beyond 2m1f so she has stamina to prove (mixed messages in pedigree). |

30th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 100y |
11st 7lb |
Top-rated here at 138; won Grade 1 at Aintree in April 2025, her last start on ground with good in the description; below best in hot handicaps this year but better expected now back on a sounder surface; giving weight away to most of her rivals but the one to beat. |

10st 7lb |
2-7 over hurdles and some smart form in the book; better known as a chaser these days, but has been out of sorts in that sphere on recent starts; third at Punchestown on latest, but was still beaten over 9l; needs to revive on first run over timber since March 2024. |

2-11 over fences; rated 13lb higher over hurdles; ran well when second in Grade 3 novice here in October (War Correspondent third); has disappointed at Fairyhouse and when pulled up over C&D since returning from a break; needs to leave those efforts behind. |

Very useful hurdler, two wins and third in 2024 Cheltenham Mares' Novices Hurdle; took a while to find her form over fences but won at Killarney and Listowel last year; second in Grade 3 novice here in October; never counted at Fairyhouse after a break. |

11st 5lb |
Useful mare won a Grade 3 at Punchestown in February (2m4f, soft); outclassed in Grade 2 at Fairyhouse before finishing a 6.25l third behind Murcia over inadequate trip at Listowel (16.5f, good) on latest; this trip more her bag and may close the gap; any rain would be a plus. |

Talented mare has finished out of the first three just twice in six starts over hurdles; won a Grade 3 at Punchestown in February (2m4f, soft); pulled up in Fairyhouse Grade 2 latest; best form on soft ground so rain would boost claims. |

Ran her best race over hurdles when fourth in heavy ground here in 2025; not a bad run at Cork last time over 2m1f; a squeak if staying this trip. |
