28th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 107y |
10st 8lb |
Improving handicap chaser at up to 2m6f and stole a handicap from the front over that trip at Tramore last month; up 10lb for that but has a mountain to climb at this level back at this trip. |

Hurdle winner has twice run well in defeat at this track over fences this year, including over C&D; unseated at Galway last time but has a squeak on those better earlier runs. |

Promise in all three chase starts, including when a 2.5l second behind Giant Haystacks in a handicap at Wexford on latest despite not jumping fluently at times; nudged up 2lb and this is tougher but could go well if jumping better. |

Hurdle winner ran well enough on h'cap chase debut at Punchestown but was poor over hurdles last time at Ballinrobe; the cheekpieces worn then are left off today so he could rebound. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |

Mostly chasing these days and consistent of late; second over this trip when last seen hurdling at Killarney in May, but you'd have to think some of the less exposed types will have his measure. |

3rd 3 |
4th Sep 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |
11st 4lb |
2-16 over fences but hasn't won since November 2024; excellent effort to finish a 5.5l third at Galway (18.5f, good) and filled the same position at Tramore (2m6f, good) latest when beaten 11.5l; frame claims again off the same mark. |

Dual chase winner was second over hurdles at Killarney in May and ran a cracker back over fences at Galway last time; looks a big player down 2lb and in grade. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |

Three-time winning hurdler; 2-13 in chases, his last win coming over 2m6f (good) at Thurles in January 2025 off 9lb higher; hinted at a return to form when staying on for a remote fourth at Wexford latest (2m, good); on a dangerous mark and this longer trip will suit. |

Won this race last year but has been mostly below form this year over hurdles and fences; is still 3lb above last year's winning mark so has to return to best. |

14th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 0y |

Five career wins include this race in 2024 (off 101) and 2m6f handicap chase at this fixture last year; light campaign this year, pick being Roscommon claiming hurdle second, most recently beaten when unseating two out in 3m Galway handicap hurdle; has to be respected given 10yo's record here. |
13/2 |

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. |

Dual chase winner has run well in defeat at this track; however, was pulled-up on his last chase run and below form over hurdles since so others preferred. |

Two wins over fences; just 1-34 over hurdles, but placed many times; touched off over 2m4f at Killarney this time last year; quiet so far this season and would prefer farther. |

Point winner has only had six runs under rules; promising Kilbeggan chasing debut but not as good twice since; however, can do better again now entering handicaps. |
10/1 |

4th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 142y |
11st 12lb |
Winning pointer rated just 90 over hurdles but was an encouraging 6.5l third on his chase debut, keeping on over 2m4f (yielding) at Kilbeggan and earning an RPR of 117; weakened when upped to 25.5f back there latest and now drops markedly back in trip; this may be too sharp a test. |

Returned from the point-to-point circuit to run a decent race in a beginners' chase over 2m4f here last month; likely to stay well and could run into a place. |

Maiden hurdle winner here; both chase wins came at Kilbeggan when with Henry de Bromhead; below form last four starts and needs a return to his best. |

15th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
10st 10lb |
Two chase wins for Henry de Bromhead, both over this C&D; is 4lb higher than when winning here in May 2025; third in this off 7lb higher last year; soundly beaten on debut for this yard last month but may have needed that; blinkers replace cheekpieces and rider takes off handy 3lb. |

Five-time hurdle winner won a Galway beginners' chase last year but hasn't been as good since; however, there was more encouragement at Kilbeggan last time and he drops in class today so isn't dismissed. |

8th Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 40y |

Five-time hurdle winner, 1-5 over fences with sole win coming at Galway a year ago; been struggling since; showed up reasonably well before fading markedly at Galway eight days ago so this step back in trip could suit; needs more, though. |
15/2 |

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

Prolific over hurdles (5-11) but is just 1-5 over fences; that win came over C&D (good) in a beginners' at this meeting last year (Donnie Devito third); lost way afterwards but given a break and should be sharper for a spin on the Flat at Bellewstown 29 days ago; not discounted in first-time blinkers. |

16th Aug 2026 Good 2m 6f 0y |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 155y |

Hurdle winner has taken well to chasing, winning two of her five starts; won a Killarney beginners' last October and a Limerick handicap on return, both over approx' 3m; fell at Down Royal in between; up 4lb but should go well again. |
