12st 0lb |
Has run only three times since beating Its On The Line at Cheltenham last season; winner of points at Dromahane in November and 19 days ago, that recent display providing reassurance after a disappointingly lifeless Cheltenham defence; leading contender for the stable that has dominated the point-to-point scene this season. |

4-4 since bought for £33,000 in July 2024 and he emerged from midfield to win this last year (good to soft; effective on softer), fending off the late charge of Its On The Line; has undergone a similar preparation, arriving here fresh after winning a point in early November; there have been back-to-back winners of this race and a bold defence looks on the cards. |

Only three runs over regulation fences but he was third in a Grade 2 in 2022 and fourth in a good novice handicap here in late 2023; signed off for the Bowen yard last summer with respectable runs over hurdles and hasn't been overly pressed to win two small-field points in Ireland for this stable; positive jockey booking and brings each-way hopes provided a 131-day break doesn't come back to bite him. |

Won this for the third time last year; contrasting profile in the Cheltenham equivalent now having finished second in four consecutive years; easily the best of the Irish this year, with Panda Boy fifth and Wonderwall (his conqueror last year) seventh; never got competitive in the Aintree Foxhunter, a rare blot on his record; has his quirks, but as tough as they come. |

Won this in 2024 (heavy); beaten a neck by Barton Snow at last month's Cheltenham Festival (3m2f, good to soft), finishing a close second in that hunter chase for the fourth season in a row; at this trip he may prefer more testing ground than is likely today, but he's still entitled to respect. |

Part of the furniture in this race after going agonisingly close in the last three runnings, especially 12 months ago when he stayed on strongly to push Wonderwall to a neck, after which he secured a repeat win at Punchestown; although it's hardly encouraging that he was turned over at 1-5 in his latest point, the winner is useful on his day and this 9yo didn't exactly arrive here 12 months ago with the wind in his sails; all roads have led to this and he has clear claims. |

Mixed form in the top hunter chases last season; stand-out effort third behind Wonderwall and Its On The Line at Cheltenham; started this season brightly with second to Its On The Line at Down Royal; unseated mid-race at Thurles; pulled up at Cheltenham; major chance if he adapts to the demands of this circuit; cheekpieces fitted; good 7lb claimer. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |

Took form to new level in hunter chases last season and recruited by these connections prior to a staying-on third in this race; that campaign ended on a low note and, as in this last year, Its On The Line was ahead of him on his comeback at Down Royal; unseated mid-race last time; needs a career best but eight is no age in this discipline and he may have more to give. |

Won this race 12 months ago for Sean Doyle; made a fine start for Gordon Elliott when staying on for third in the Irish-dominated St James's Place at Cheltenham; in contrast, a tame effort and pulled up in the championship event at Punchestown; back near the top of his form when splitting Its On The Line and the smart Con's Roc at Down Royal; sets the standard. |

He's made the frame at 33-1 in the last two runnings of the Cheltenham Festival hunter chase, finishing about 8l behind Barton Snow and Its On The Line last month when third; tackles a new track today and the drop back in trip isn't an obvious positive, but he could still be an each-way contender. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |

2022 Champion Bumper eighth and twice placed over hurdles here when with Gordon Elliott; has done well for current team following a long absence, winning over C&D last May after his never-dangerous 13l fourth to Wonderwall in this 12 months ago; needs to get his skates on a bit earlier to improve on that placing and he was beaten by Linelee King in a recent point (after a long break); return of cheekpieces is no bad thing; seems fine on all ground. |

Relinquished an unbeaten record over regulation fences when fifth in this race last year, though he did well to be only 13l off Wonderwall given that he was in the firing line throughout; it's best not to read too much into a recent odds-on defeat behind past Festival hero Unexpected Party at Haydock (2m6f) as that was probably needed after 11 months off; has no ground preferences; can run well. |

Unbeaten over regulation fences, having won two handicaps at about 3m in 2023 and come back from a long absence to win hunter chases at Ffos Las (2m5f, heavy) and Taunton (2m7f, good to soft); Haven't Time gave him something to think about last time and this demands more of him, probably a lot more; the cheekpieces he wore for those handicap wins are back on; Paul Nicholls has won this four times. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
No threat to easy winner when second at Taunton (2m7f, heavy) last month but that was still a pretty good effort and he'll probably be better suited by the less testing ground here; a possible. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Won hunter chase at Southwell (3m, soft) in March 2024 and runner-up in this race last February (good to soft); this 12yo was no match for Golden Son when fourth at Warwick (3m, good to soft) three weeks ago; could improve for that reappearance outing but others still make greater appeal. |

Dual hunter chase winner who can hold his own in handicaps but unlikely to be overly competitive at this level. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 90y |
11st 3lb |
Two-time chase winner, encouraging run when beaten 0.5l behind Harbour Highway at Leopardstown (2m6f, yielding) in March before well-held fourth at Fairyhouse 41 days ago; ground should suit and place claims. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Good efforts in defeat behind Java Point (3m, good to soft) and Unexposed Party (2m6f, good to soft) this year and ran well for a long way before fading at last month's Cheltenham Festival (3m2f); could have an each-way shout at big odds now back down in trip; reapplied cheekpieces replace hood. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
125-1 for this last year but was still travelling within himself when falling three out; returns on the back of a positive performance at Haydock when just ahead of Shearer; hood returns; he's no forlorn hope by any means. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 54y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
Ran well when fifth in this race a year ago (good to soft) and has some notable form since, including fourth of 16 in amateur riders' handicap at Cheltenham (3m1f, heavy) in November and third in recent Ludlow hunter chase (3m, good to soft); can make his presence felt. |

10st 7lb |
Record of 5-13 in points; opened account on the track at the 18th attempt, improving on hunter chase form to land a 2m5f handicap at Fairyhouse off 104 in January (soft); maintained consistency with a promoted third at Thurles last time (2m2f, soft); others preferred. |
