Showed good stamina on soft ground when winning a 23-runner handicap over 1m6f at Navan last October; not a bad run when fifth under a penalty at Galway five days later; rated a modest 60 on the Flat; faces a tough introduction to hurdling. |

Winning hurdler for Noel Meade; regressive on Flat in recent years until much more encouraging run at Limerick on Saturday, coming from some way back under 7lb claimer when beaten a head/neck over 1m4f (good); Billy Lee now takes over and major claims off same mark but draw a negative. |

Five-time Flat winner is just 1-6 over hurdles; running just okay on the level recently and has stamina to prove for this trip now back over timber; others appeal more. |

Five turf wins at various trips, including over C&D last year off 57 (from stall one); good Leopardstown second (to Masego) in May wasn't backed up at Navan and has a wide draw to overcome here. |

20th Jun 2026 Good 1m 4f 207y |
9st 2lb |
Five-time winner was wonderfully consistent in defeat on AW over winter/spring, placing in four consecutive runs at 1m4f-2m; continued that form back on turf at Roscommon (1m4f, yielding to soft) in May when again a runner-up; a visor replaced the previously worn cheekpieces at Navan (1m5f, good) last time and resulted in a victory; up 5lb but he's a player. |

Modest but progressive AW handicapper last winter, winning over 1m2f and placed at 1m4f; good chance now based on last week's pleasing Bellewstown second which came after a break. |

Modest but progressive AW handicapper last winter, winning over 1m2f and placed at 1m4f; unexposed on turf so worth a look here from a good draw (headgear left off). |

Best hurdle run came when third at Downpatrick last time in this sphere, but was poor on the Flat since, so has to put that effort behind him. |

Just 1-21 on the Flat but not beaten far the last twice; closely matched with Kevin The Great on Navan running earlier this month; didn't quite see out 2m2f at Down Royal latest; goes well here and big chance back down in trip off last winning mark for local yard. |

10st 1lb |
Heavy defeat when last seen on the Flat at Dundalk in January; pulled up over hurdles on return from 168 days latest; remote third over C&D last June off 8lb higher, so can't fully discount but needs to rediscover best. |
12/1 |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |

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. |
