25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 4lb |
Killarney winner in the spring and finished a very creditable fourth of 20 in the Galway Hurdle (Thisistheway second, Gameball third); reverted to Flat to win Killarney amateur riders' contest last month and cheekpieces now fitted for hurdles return. |

1st 2 (6) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 180y |
11st 7lb |
Better known as a smart four-time hurdles winner; good recent form when fourth in the Galway Hurdle off a mark of 132, roughly the same ability as Samui; also a capable Flat performer but his 81 rating makes him 23lb inferior to Samui in this sphere. |

2nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
12st 6lb |
Unbeaten in two bumpers; fair novice hurdler last season; stylish winner of a 1m7f maiden at Leopardstown in July on his second Flat start; confirmed a good standard of form when narrowly beaten by the useful Ragmans Corner at Killarney. |
9/2 |

2nd 1 (5) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 180y |
11st 11lb |
Unbeaten in two bumpers; fair novice hurdler last season; stylish winner of a 1m7f maiden at Leopardstown last month on his second Flat start; plenty to find with Samui on figures, but has potential to improve his rating and is race-fit |
3/1 |

11st 2lb |
Unbeaten in bumpers (2-2) and won a maiden hurdle here in December; made no impression on Flat debut in Down Royal maiden last time out and will need to leave that well behind. |

21st Sep 2026 Good 1m 4f 0y |
10st 1lb |
Bumper winner but bred for the Flat; well beaten in a Galway 1m4f maiden after a mammoth absence, but then ran a close third in a useful rated race at Killarney (2m1f); this lightly raced 9yo is back in trip here but should still be competitive. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 5 (4) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 180y |
11st 4lb |
Smart Flat pedigree; looked good when justifying short odds on debut in Listowel bumper in September 2023 (good); failed to build on that twice afterwards on softer ground; absent from December 2023 until tailed off in a 1m4f maiden at the Galway festival. |

11st 12lb |
Smart Flat pedigree; looked good when justifying prohibitive odds on debut in Listowel bumper in September 2023 (good) but was unable to build on that twice afterwards on softer ground; absent since December 2023 and makes hurdles debut with ground likely to suit and clearly goes well fresh. |

3rd Oct 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 60y |
11st 2lb |
Battle-hardened dual-purpose horse, but a strong stayer whose close second at Down Royal in August came over 3m; looks vulnerable back at this trip. |
12/1 |

5th 7 |
7th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 129y |
11st 0lb |
Classy on the Flat (rated 101) and this three time hurdles winner ran a fine race on his second start back from a long layoff when a 0.75l second to the 140 rated Reverend Hubert at Killarney when in receipt of 10lbs; a bit to find on the figures here with a rating of 131 but rider's claim helps; place chance. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 7 |
28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Smart stayer on the Flat and nice Flat return at Killarney after 13 months off; pick of hurdles form would give him a chance, but hasn't run in this code since being beaten 8l off mark of 131 at last year's Punchestown festival; stays well on the level and might yet improve for going 3m (second try at it). |

12st 1lb |
Won off 6lb lower at Ballinrobe on stable debut in May; beaten off revised rating on last start in this sphere at Galway and just an okay run on the Flat at Killarney on latest; needs more off this mark. |

5th 4 (2) |
21st Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 180y |

Handicap hurdle winner on debut for this yard at Ballinrobe in May; made a pleasing Flat debut when a strong-finishing second to an odds-on shot in a 1m4f Bellewstown amateur riders' event early last month; finished in mid-field in a handicap hurdle at Galway. |

Long-standing maiden tailed off in first two runs for this yard last summer and hasn't been seen since; miles out of the handicap here and impossible to make a case for. |

Maiden in all spheres was tailed-off in a 1m4f Galway maiden on return for a new yard so can't be fancied on that showing. |

29th Jul 2026 Yielding 1m 4f 43y |

Dual-purpose maiden for Charles O'Brien rated a meagre 54 on the Flat; hard to fancy on yard debut. |
