10st 13lb |
Dual 1m AW winner for former yard and went close on yard debut at Dundalk in November; modest enough form in four attempts hurdling, most recently poor Flat effort at Galway last month; seemingly lots to find. |

9st 7lb |
Two-time 1m AW winner for former yard; went close on debut for this stable on last Flat start at Dundalk (10.5f); no impact over hurdles last thrice and 0-7 record on turf on the Flat doesn't inspire confidence; drawn wide. |

11st 12lb |
Placed in a point before falling in his second; 0-9 over hurdles but some okay runs in defeat; runner-up in a Cork handicap hurdle off 105 on stable debut in May; didn't match that in two subsequent outings; could do better over fences; not dismissed. |
7/1 |

Case can be made off this mark on best of his form and has run quite well in a pair of 2m3f handicaps for current yard; possibilities back up to a trip that he does stay. |

11st 3lb |
4yo; promise in academy hurdles in the winter on testing ground; modest fourth in 4yo maiden at Roscommon (2m, yld-sft) on return from break last month, earning a rating of 104; half-sister to two good ground winners so could improve for this surface and leading chance. |

8th Jun 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 0f 0y |

Promise in all three starts in academy hurdles on testing ground for Joesph O'Brien; off since 2.25l second at Naas in December (2m1f, sft-hvy); could go well on first run for new yard. |
100/30 |
Betting Forcast
15/1 Tribal Moon, 7/4 Coded Welder, 13/1 Fortis Et Liber, 15/1 Fuusland, 3/1 Majestic Horizon, 33/1 Salty Racer, 66/1 Tommy Go Maith, 25/1 Jolly DOlivate, 66/1 Six Mile Suzy, 5/2 Ritz Plan
Verdict
This looks like a good opportunity for CODED WELDER to make the breakthrough, given his top rating and some decent runs in defeat. Ritz Plan gets all the allowances and is definitely worth a look, but you’d prefer to see her arriving in better form. Winning pointer Majestic Horizon brings positive bumper form to the table and is bred to be a hurdler. [Denis Harney]
