11st 5lb |
Won over 1m4f in France; modest form in two bumper starts in Britain; failed to build on promising hurdling debut third at Gowran (2m, heavy) when tailed off at Navan in December (2m, soft to heavy); leading chance now based on last month's claimer-ridden Punchestown second. |

2nd Aug 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 60y |
10st 12lb |
5-40 under rules, three of those have come in chases, the latest at Tramore last summer (2m6f, good); yet to hit form this year although recent 9l second to Rocky's Howya in 3m Roscommon claiming hurdle was a step in the right direction and enjoys an 8lb pull in the weights with that rival back in handicap company. |
10/1 |

5-39 under rules; three of those have come in chases, the latest last August at Tramore (2m6f, good); moderate efforts in that sphere in his opening two runs this year and even worse back over hurdles at Ballinrobe, although badly hampered at the second; has O'Keeffe aboard now; not ruled out. |

10st 12lb |
Latest of five wins was at Fairyhouse in November; pulled up over fences last time; handles good ground and has won over 3m; trainer has said that once he goes over mark of 100, he struggles, but claim will help. |
10/1 |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 210y |
11st 2lb |
Five-time hurdles winner; limited chasing experience and lacks a recent outing; however, potentially well handicapped, 8lb below the current hurdles rating he earned with a Fairyhouse win last November. |

Minor promise in maidens; well beaten on handicap debut at Navan (3m1f, yld-sft) when last seen in December 2024; worth checking in the market on return from long absence. |

Handicap mark is based on three runs at up to 2m2f; an unknown quantity over this trip; Flat pedigree is a cause for some concern regarding stamina. |

Off the mark with narrow Thurles handicap win off 92 in November (2m, yielding to soft); has struggled since off revised mark, and needs to bounce back. |

19th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 1f 20y |

Off the mark when a narrow Thurles handicap winner off 92 in November (2m, yielding to soft); failed to cope with the 7lb rise at Fairyhouse next time; led two out over 2m4f at Gowran on latest before weakening; player down in trip. |

23rd Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 8lb |
Point winner, ordinary form in maiden hurdles, although one of her better efforts came over 2m4f here in May when a 7l fourth; pulled up on handicap debut at Limerick last time (2m4f, good); cheekpieces go on now and local trainer's record around here speaks for itself. |

Betting Forcast
7/2 Mighty Berkshire, 12/1 Ryans Son, 5/1 Latopix, 13/2 Tullyveery Lad, 14/1 Good World, 9/2 Tolka Row, 16/1 Boston Beach, 14/1 Hillstar Blues, 10/1 Diamond Secret, 12/1 Moonlight Paradise, 20/1 Ray Gun

Verdict
Tullyveery Lad has won at the last two Tramore festivals so warrants respect, but the veteran faces some younger, progressive rivals here, notably top-weight MIGHTY BERKSHIRE, who is taken to follow up a recent Galway success. Downpatrick winner Tolka Row and handicap debutant Latopix complete the shortlist. [Alan Hewison]
