31st Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
11st 12lb |
Beaten at short odds on debut in a bumper at this venue two years ago; won over hurdles at Roscommon last summer after a break; runner-up in a Listed novice here later that month, beaten by the subsequent County Hurdle second Sticktotheplan; ran out of steam on his reappearance in a 3m1f chase at Punchestown last month; likely to be at peak form now. |

Galileo gelding out of the very talented Vroum Vroum Mag was beaten at short odds in a bumper at last year's festival and absent until ready winner of 2m5f Roscommon opportunity maiden hurdle early this month, tending to jump left; back in trip here and part of a really strong Willie Mullins' team here. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 12lb |
Two time winner over hurdles and has racked up a bit of chasing experience, coming up against a couple of good ones; didn't quite get home over 2m6f here at the festival and the drop back in trip should suit; definite player. |

31st Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
11st 12lb |
Two hurdle wins in France in his early days; unconvincing chase form since his return from a long absence; made mistakes and was pulled up at Punchestown in June; previously blundered badly two out at Cork. |
4/1 |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 8lb |
One of three for trainer; dual French hurdles winner is yet to score for this yard but has run well in defeat at times, including when runner-up at Punchestown on chasing debut (2m3f, soft); returned from over a year off at Cork (2m1f, yielding) when 23l fourth behind better-fancied stablemate; makes handicap chase debut now. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 40y |
11st 2lb |
Sole win came in heavy ground handicap hurdle last year; consistent in seven chase starts; arguably career best when beaten 11l into third by Vicar Street at Galway eight days ago; drop back in trip fine and he's going the right way; good claims. |
3/1 |

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

Winning hurdler over 2m4f on heavy; pick of six attempts chasing when worn down late in a 2m7f Limerick handicap last Christmas (soft-to-heavy) and when chasing home a useful sort in a Wexford beginners' event four weeks ago; trainer saddled a smart novice winner here on Tuesday. |

20th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Dual hurdle winner up to 3m and is rated 125 in that sphere; made a sound chasing debut at Galway after 92 days away and has to be considered with improvement to come from that. |

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

Second in a Galway beginners chase last year and a couple of decent efforts since; some encouragement from his effort at Galway last time but more needed. |

31st Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
11st 12lb |
Plenty of chasing experience; has failed to build on a fine second behind Intense Approach in this race last year; best of his six subsequent starts when second in a handicap at last year's Listowel festival; pulled up at Roscommon last time, early mistake may have harmed his confidence; may bounce back to pose a threat now. |
9/2 |

8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 100y |
11st 2lb |
The most experienced chaser in the field but is 0-9; beaten 11.5l off 125 in Navan handicap chase (2m4f, heavy) when last seen in December; goes well fresh but best form on good ground so wouldn't want to see much rain. |

11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 50y |

6lb higher than for February's Fairyhouse win but hasn't been that far away at Cork in his last two races (2m4f/3m); does look handicapped about right but has each-way claims. |

31st Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 111y |
11st 12lb |
Useful juvenile hurdler the season before last; best run last term when fifth off 130 in a 2m4f handicap at Leopardstown; tailed off over 3m1f on chase debut; suffered the same fate over 2m at Wexford; not a betting proposition at the moment. |

Useful juvenile hurdler the season before last; best run last term when fifth off 130 in 2m4f handicap at Leopardstown over Christmas; tailed off over 3m1f on chase debut, but he's definitely not a two-miler either; headgear. |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 157y |

No joy since Leopardstown maiden hurdle win in December 2024; poor form in that sphere last season and not an obvious candidate for chasing on breeding; others appeal more. |

A maiden in 18 starts, four over fences, but put in three fair efforts over fences last year, most notably when second to Hit The Frame at Wexford, before being pulled up at this track over hurdles 177 days ago; 5lb out of the handicap off basement mark here but could go well. |
