Reached the frame in another top staying handicap when third of 17 in Chester Cup in May. Rare poor effort at the Curragh next start but back on track without being seen to best effect when midfield in last month's Northumberland Plate. This drop in grade looks in his favour back on turf.
|
Fairly useful 11f winner on Flat for Charlie Johnston who may have needed the run after 7 months off when sixth in a 17f maiden hurdle here for new yard in May. Up significantly in trip returned to Flat but worth noting he's no stranger to tame finishes in this sphere.
|
Finally capitalised on a career-low mark at Navan in March on final start for Aidan Melia and landed 2 of his 3 starts since joining present yard, produced to lead 1f out at Limerick (12.3f, heavy) 25 days ago. Fancied to go well up significantly in trip.
|
Hurdles winner at Gowran in October. Ran no sort of race back from a break on Flat at Dundalk (2m) in February but better efforts when finishing midfield in pair of big field handicap hurdles during the spring. Each-way claims back on Flat equipped with a first-time tongue strap.
|
Didn't kick on as expected in maidens in 2025 and hasn't fared any better switched to handicaps this season, running a moody race in a change of headgear at Tramore 7 days ago. Plenty to prove at present.
|
Useful jumps winner who showed improved form in this sphere when landing a 15-runner Leopardstown maiden (15f) 4 weeks ago. Goes handicapping from what looks an appealing opening mark and this increase in trip another likely plus.
|
C&D winner who returned in good heart this spring, finding only an unexposed sort too strong returned to this C&D in May. Seemingly not 100% when eased off at Fairyhouse last month and bounce back rates distinctly possible.

Gaoth Chuil (15/8), Sign From Above (4/1), Carthusian (9/2), Tribal Star (5/1), Harry's Legacy (7/1), Satono Chevalier (9/1), Persian Bliss (12/1), Individualism (18/1)
GAOTH CHUIL was well suited by a good test at the trip when opening her account on the Flat at Limerick 4 weeks ago and with this further increase in trip a plus now handicapping, she's fancied to make another bold bid from what rates a handy opening mark. C&D winner Harry's Legacy needs to dispel a lesser effort but is a player of doing so, with in-form Satono Chevalier another of interest under Oisin Murphy.
