Never better than seventh in five maiden hurdle runs; won a maiden point at Comea in February after a year off; however, that was a weak race, and he has struggled in two hunter chase outings; in the right yard (11 wins in this event since 1997), but otherwise hard to make a case. |

Stamina proven when winning 3m2f Killarney National (yielding) in May; possibly didn't handle the track on quicker ground when fourth in 3m Mayo National next time; has 10l to find with Drumgill on that run but this greater stamina test will suit him better. |

Won the Killarney National (3m2f, yielding) by a nose off 122 on latest, his first win over fences (Happy Jacky 13l back in third); raised 8lb for that and he may not be as effective going right-handed over fences; not totally discounted but others appeal more. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Unproven at this trip and reportedly never travelling when pulled up in the Ryanair at Cheltenham last month; however, he's won at this meeting in each of the last two seasons, landing the Grade 1 Manifesto Novices' Chase last April (2m4f, good to soft; Jango Baie third), and he produced a top performance in the Grade 2 Red Mills Chase at Gowran Park this February; could bounce back with big run for last year's winning trainer Willie Mullins. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
A fine hurdler whose three Grade 1 wins included the Ballymore at this meeting in 2023; has reached the same standard over fences, winning at the top level at Aintree (about 2m4f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) last April, and he was ultimately quite convincing in a tactical race at Gowran (about 2m3f, heavy) last month; his form doesn't yet match that of stablemate Fact To File but he is considered for a place. |

Fairly treated on the pick of his better efforts and they were not that far away; shaped with renewed purpose when a respectable fifth back over hurdles at Sligo a fortnight ago and a repeat of that performance back over fences would put him firmly in the mix. |

11st 11lb |
1-14 over hurdles but disappointed at Ballinrobe in that sphere last time out; previously ran a nice race at Bellewstown over 2m4f on good ground; not a bad run on chase debut at Downpatrick in June where 2m7f trip probably stretched him; cheekpieces on for handicap chase debut; probably best watched today unless the money comes. |
10/1 |

Won at Punchestown and a cracking run at Bellewstown last time after his chasing debut; should be a big player off 2lb higher. |

held up in rear, headway before 3 out, in touch with leaders when ridden and switched right before 2 out, ran on after last, went modest second but no chance with winner towards finish |

Much improved effort when second of 16 over C&D in April and that brings her right into the equation off 2lb higher mark. |

Verdict
A race short on depth despite the big field. Impaire Et Passe looks like a nice prospect for Willie Mullins this season and is respected with Grade 1 entries but preference is for FIRM FOOTINGS who finished runner-up in a decent-looking maiden hurdle last time out and he can put his experience to good use here. True Artist might be capable of reaching the frame if he builds on last month’s Cork fourth. [Phill Anderson]
