Point winner made no impression on debut for this yard after a long absence in a Kilbeggan maiden hurdle last month; others preferred. |

Point-to-point winner in 2024, also runner-up last year; sole previous racourse outing came when midfield in 2m7f Limerick hunters chase in late 2024; best watched on hurdles debut for new yard. |

11st 12lb |
Four-time Flat winner is 1-4 hurdling, with the victory coming in a Galway maiden hurdle in 2024; 9.25l fourth of eight over C&D (soft) when last seen over hurdles in March and hasn't been at his best in three Flat runs since then; others preferred. |

Record of six wins form 27 Flat starts; uneven form in a busy campaign since a 2m win at Dundalk in January; hard to fancy against that background. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Consistent performer over hurdles, but jumped poorly on his chase debut at Wexford in March and well beaten back over flights since at Down Royal; questions to answer. |

13th Aug 2026 Good 1m 7f 120y |
11st 5lb |
Dual-purpose sort; rated 112 over hurdles; was in the process of running a cracker when returning from 745 days off on his chasing debut at Wexford before falling at the last; pulled a long way clear with one other at Roscommon 13 days later when runner-up (2m1f, soft); this is another run relatively quickly but he looks like he has improved for fences. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 142y |
11st 12lb |
Dual-purpose sort; rated 112 over hurdles; was returning from a 745 day layoff at Wexford 13 days ago when making his chase debut and was in the process of running a cracker before falling at the last; sharper for that and can go well once this doesn't come too soon. |

28th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 12lb |
Useful dual-purpose performer; rated 83 on the Flat; 1-6 over hurdles and rated 127; out of form on the Flat this year, however, and not bred for chasing; others appeal more. |

21st Jul 2026 Good 2m 1f 89y |
11st 4lb |
Came back from a long layoff to start last season's campaign with back-to-back handicap wins at Navan (soft-to-heavy) and Leopardstown (yielding); beaten favourite in two novice hurdles in January; perhaps some doubt about how he will handle the ground. |
9/2 |

28th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 4lb |
Winning hurdler yet to make much impression over the bigger obstacles; remote second at Bangor in May her best effort but soundly beaten at Hexham on latest; needs more. |
20/1 |

6th 6 |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Just 1-10 over hurdles and yet fully to convince after three chasing starts; only third best on merit and no threat to winner when second at Bangor (2m4f, good) last month; others have more pressing claims. |
8/1 |
Betting Forcast
14/1 Barton Sky, 9/2 Jabbar, 11/2 Kevins Pride, 9/4 Killeemore Lad, 8/1 Robbies Rock, 12/1 Spinola Bay, 3/1 Herja
Verdict
Not many of these can be counted out. Jabbar is interesting with his hurdles rating on his first start over fences. Killeemore Lad has managed to finish second twice despite some ropey jumping and could be a hard one to peg back. The one to do it though could be HERJA, who certainly stepped up when second at Galway and a lack of rain would enhance her chance. [Justin O’Hanlon]
