15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 3f 103y |
10st 2lb |
Last year's win in this race came off 1lb lower (soft); winning hurdler has been running okay on the Flat of late but good bit more needed and draw hasn't been kind. |

12st 1lb |
Just two runs over hurdles in early 2025, winning a maiden and then outclassed in a Grade 2 (ground perhaps too testing); some competitive form on the Flat since then, but not last time in January. |

Maiden hurdle winner; won over this trip in a Bellewstown handicap in October 2024 off 64; cut out most of the running when fourth over 10.5f in November on second AW start; prominent over C&D last time before gradually weakening into seventh; down 3lb now. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 1m 6f 109y |
10st 0lb |
Dual-purpose veteran; winner of nine races across both codes; bolted up at Sligo in May (1m6f, yld-sft) off 6lb lower; struggled the last twice however, and previous runs here have not been his best. |

Veteran gained the ninth win of his career when bolting up at Sligo on penultimate (1m6f, yld-sft); raised 8lb and couldn't follow up at Listowel (2m, good); drop back in trip a plus and has run well here before; place shout. |

10st 1lb |
Won four times for Ian Williams on a variety of ground, all at 1m2f (three times off a mark of 71); nothing for this yard until midly encouraging fifth at Bellewstown (1m, soft) on penultimate; didn't build on that at Sligo. |

3rd May 2026 Good 1m 2f 158y |
10st 2lb |
Won four times for Ian Williams on a variety of ground, all at 1m2f; nothing for this yard at big odds until mildly encouraging run at Bellewstown last time; drops in class now and has his ground, worth a market check. |

Four-time AW winner at Dundalk but 0-10 on turf, most recently never counting off much lower turf mark from wide draw at Leopardstown; better draw here and can't be ruled out off this sort of mark. |

Six-time AW winner but 0-18 on turf, hard to fancy on recent evidence (over further) despite reduced mark although return to 1m2f to suit. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 5f 0y |
8st 7lb |
Bit of promise over hurdles last year for Mags Mullins; made all to beat 18 rivals over this trip on good ground at Leopardstown; little wrong with stable debut third over 1m4f at Bellewstown (second touched off since); 2lb wrong matters little and front-runner is a player. |
15/8 |

3rd 12 (9) |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 37y |
9st 2lb |
Nicely improved to get off the mark off basement 40 rating at Leopardstown in May (beating Eastern Wind) for Mags Mullins under enterprising front-running ride (1m5f, good); up 6lb and debuts for new yard from okay draw. |

11th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 40y |

Form to date suggests he's better on AW; couple of modest efforts on turf last month so lot more needed. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 2f 96y |

Form to date suggests he's better on AW with placed finishes twice at Dundalk this year; returned to turf at Fairyhouse with a very moderate effort; blinkers on now but others preferred. |

Ordinary form in AW handicaps for Gavin Cromwell, much the same at Naas on stable debut; trainer brought off a superb four-timer last Saturday. |
14/1 |

9th 11 (5) |
4th Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 194y |
9st 5lb |
Five AW runs have been largely poor bar a mildly promising effort in a nursery over a mile in December; off 155 days; tongue-strap goes on and steps markedly up in trip. |
