10st 7lb |
Dual-purpose maiden; yet to hit the frame in six starts over hurdles but didn't run too badly at Cork (2m4f, good) on his return from a 254-day break; has run well here on the Flat on soft and stays 2m in that sphere; looks well worth a go at this trip; interesting. |

11st 4lb |
All three hurdle wins have come at Ballinrobe, the last one in 2025; however, was pulled-up there 10 days ago and hard to fancy on that run. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 28y |

3-25 with all three wins coming at this track, the most recent in April last year off this mark; should be approaching peak fitness after two recent runs and can't be discounted back at her favourite venue. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y |

Probably not suited by testing ground in two runs before a break; won a maiden on good-to-yielding over 2m3f at this venue last October. |

Initial promise in bumpers; modest form in maiden hurdles until an improved display when winning a 2m3f maiden at this venue a month ago; hard to be sure if the return to a shorter trip will bring out the best in her. |

Maiden was a runner-up over hurdles in opening three starts since switching to current yard; always behind in first-time cheekpieces (now left off) at Kilbeggan last time; goes chasing now but record of 0-8 in point-to-points suggests it may not transform her; rated 85 over hurdles. |

10st 8lb |
Brought off an 80-1 shock over C&D last autumn when fitted with cheekpieces for the first time; after a lengthy break, she may have needed last week's race when a remote seventh behind Knocknagoran Lady at Limerick; first reserve. |

2nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 120y |

Doubled her hurdles tally at Kilbeggan in September (3m1f, good) off 5lb lower in first-time cheekpieces at 80-1; pulled up at Listowel when last seen later that month (2m6f, good to yielding); hard to trust, especially back from an absence. |

Won a Ballinrobe handicap hurdle in 2024 (2m7f, good) off 82; out of form in final two hurdle starts in 2024 and three runs over fences last autumn didn't bring any improvement; best watched back from a break. |

Never a factor in four strong maiden hurdles at 2m-2m1f; could prove to be a different proposition now handicapping; cheekpieces; 3lb wrong; betting will provide clues. |

Sole hurdles win came here, under regular rider, last summer, and placed three times over flights later in 2025; only had three completed starts over fences, best of them his Downpatrick second to subsequent easy winner Dinoland over nearly 3m; early exit last time; this trip seems closer to his optimum. |

In first-time cheekpieces when a clear second over 2m7f at Downpatrick 22 days ago and the winner was Dinoland who contests the previous race; this 7yo gets in off the same mark. |

Verdict
John Ryan’s good run of form may continue with RUN FOR THE BORDER, who can build on a pleasing return to action at Limerick in May. It’s Time Again, who is noteworthy as a three-time course winner, signalled a return to form by running well up to the point of her exit at the second-last at Limerick last month. If fully fit after a long layoff, Tannery Park could go close. [Alan Sweetman]
