11st 7lb |
Both hurdle wins early this summer over 2m6f at Downpatrick, safely held over same C&D last month; let down by jumping when failed to complete on both previous attempts chasing last summer and tries again here. |

Three wins apiece over hurdles and on the Flat; best recent hurdle run came over 3m at this venue last month; would have a squeak if returning to that form. |

13th Aug 2026 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 12lb |
Enjoyed a purple patch last summer, winning three handicap hurdles on the bounce at 2m5f-2m7f on good ground; generally struggled since and his latest two runs have been fairly dismal; returns to chasing for the first time since 2024, when he didn't set things alight in three beginners'. |

Sprang a 20-1 surprise in a Clonmel maiden hurdle in April (2m4f, gd-yld); well held on handicap debut at Cork when last seen in May 2025 (2m4f, good); eased 3lb for that but others make more appeal. |

Not the easiest to predict but he bounded clear over nearly 3m at Downpatrick 22 days ago to earn this 7lb higher mark; good ground is the key to him. |

8th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 150y |

Dual hurdle winner has run well in defeat here and was running well on second chase start at Tipperary last year when making a bad mistake at the last; not easy to fancy on last two runs. |

Three-time winner for Ian Donoghue; fine effort on second start for this stable when a 4.5l second of 19 at Galway; nudged up 3lb for that, this is a stronger race and has never won off a mark this high; career best required and would prefer easier ground. |

One of two for yard; won beginners' by 5.5l over 2m2f (yielding) here last September; three respectable runs over timber since and shaped like this trip might be within reach at Ballinrobe last time; could go well in first handicap chase. |
13/2 |

Sole success came in a Downpatrick beginners' chase (2m2f, yielding) last September; creditable fourth on seasonal return at Sligo in July and should strip fitter now; place possibilities. |

Won off 8lb lower at Downpatrick in May (2m6f, good); back on track after two poor chase runs when a 5l second of 16 at Listowel (2m6f, gd-yld) in first time blinkers (retained); this tougher off 3lb higher and majority of best form is on better ground. |

Sole win came in a Downpatrick mares' maiden hurdle (2m2f, good) in July 2025; yet to get closer than 8l to the winner in a handicap and this trip may be a stretch for her. |

3rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 0y |

Is best on good ground and shaped well at Cork on penultimate (2m2f, good) but didn't back it up over C&D on latest; needs to bounce back and the forecast rain is a worry. |

11st 8lb |
Sole chase win came over C&D in May 2023 off 86; well-supported in first-time cheekpieces (retained) for his return from a 758-day absence at Roscommon, where he was a creditable third of 13 (2m6f, soft); entitled to improve over that; chance. |

Sole hurdle win came in January 2022; cheekpieces tried on first run since July 2024 and debut for a new yard; best watched unbless the market suggests otherwise. |

11st 13lb |
Irish raider; not one to rely upon heavily but won over C&D last summer and was placed over C&D (also on good) last month; didn't run badly in a subsequent chase; major player if on a going day. |
7/2 |

5th 4 |
21st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 180y |
11st 9lb |
Ended a barren spell when pouncing late at Perth in 2025 over hurdles (3m, good); best run of the season came in the same race last time when a 1.75l third of 11; 1-27 in chases, but this is just his second attempt in this low grade. |

Veteran was in good form earlier in summer, winning over 3m at Punchestown and good runs twice after including here; might have found the ground too soft last time; this can suit better but trip might be too sharp. |

Second reserve; has backed up a surprise Punchestown win with two solid runs in defeat; veteran clearly retains enough ability to make his presence felt. |

Still a maiden at the ripe age of nine but bounced right back to form when runner-up at Down Royal (3m, good), staying on from rear; the third has franked the form; big player with a repeat from 2lb higher. |
