18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 110y |
12st 0lb |
Sligo bumper winner last year took a course maiden hurdle (2m3f, good to yielding) in May; runner-up in 3m Galway handicap on penultimate; had Holy Joe behind when filling the same spot in Tramore novice (20.5f) last month; each-way possibilities. |

Sligo bumper winner last year took a Downpatrick maiden hurdle over 2m3f in May; improved from his handicap debut at the same track when runner-up over 3m at Galway last time; can run well again. |

Bumper winner; off mark at second attempt over hurdles in 2m3f Downpatrick maiden in May (good), following month tame enough effort in handicap over same C&D; back from a short break and tries a new trip. |

11st 4lb |
Maiden hurdle winner at Tramore (2m6f) in May; posted a good Tramore novice run last month but not as good in a Killarney handicap since so has to rebound down in trip. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 80y |
10st 0lb |
Got a 9lb hike for winning a Tramore maiden hurdle in May; well held in three novice hurdles since; 4lb wrong on his handicap debut and probably safe to look elsewhere. |

13th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 100y |
10st 13lb |
Won a maiden hurdle over 2m6f here in May; a decent run in a Downpatrick novice since but was beaten 32l there last time; has a lot to do in this company on these terms. |

13th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 100y |
11st 13lb |
Won a 2m Kilbeggan maiden hurdle and bounced back from two lesser runs over further to take a Market Rasen novice over this trip; this is more competitive but has a chance. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Progressive form over shorter, winning a maiden over an extended 2m at Kilbeggan (good to yielding); weakened over 2m4f next time and then ran poorly at 3m; strong form claims if he can prove himself over this far. |

11st 10lb |
Placed in first two maiden hurdles; off the mark at the third attempt here over 16.5f (gd-yld) in April; weakened after the third last when upped to 2m4f (gd-yld) in novice hurdle at Killarney 20 days ago; stamina query upped further in trip here. |

12st 0lb |
Was third in a valuable Fairyhouse restricted bumper on debut last year; lesser bumper run in January; belied inexperience to win on hurdles debut at Killarney over this trip; there should be more to come and is a big player. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 85y |
11st 4lb |
Very promising start when a close third in valuable Fairyhouse bumper (2m, sft-hvy) in April 2025; not seen again until a 4.5l fourth of five back at Fairyhouse (2m, yielding) in January; now steps up in trip for hurdling debut after another absence with Townend up; could go well. |
