15th Jul 2025 Good 1m 6f 55y |
11st 12lb |
Rated 135 over fences at his peak; 8yo ran well enough on his belated Flat debut at Down Royal (1m5f, good) last month; shaped like this extra furlong would suit but he may be vulnerable to younger legs. |

8yo achieved a peak rating of 135 over fences; makes belated Flat debut after losing his way over jumps; yard won this last year and stamina won't be an issue but others appeal more. |

Placed in a Listed bumper last season and came good over hurdles at third attempt, dominating from the front and winning Punchestown maiden (2m, soft to heavy) by 22l last month; can probably improve again if today's longer trip suits but others have more compelling form. |

Most recent of his three wins was in 2024; ran his best race for a long time when 50-1 runner-up in the BetMGM Cup at Cheltenham; remote eighth behind Teahupoo here 12 months ago; up against it. |

Fifth when 50-1 in this race in 2024 (1lb higher today) and 20l sixth when 80-1 for the Grade 1 Stayers' in 2025, close up turning for home on both occasions; not so good this season and this is a rare run without tongue-tie or other headgear; not entirely dismissed, though. |

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. |

Two hurdle wins arrived in 2024 on heavy ground; beaten 27l over fences at Clonmel (2m7f, soft) in April, but he was only 2l down when falling at the second last hurdle here (2m4f, soft to heavy) later that month; 3lb wrong. |

Strong stayer who made short work of his rivals in the National Hunt Chase here (3m6f, heavy) last March and showed he could do more than just grind away when close up in the Bowl (3m1f, soft) at Aintree after; unable to go with Banbridge in the home straight in the King George at Kempton (3m) on Boxing Day and his pace was again lacking over 2m5f at Ascot (good) last month, but this test can see him back in a good place; a dollop of rain would help but he isn't a forlorn hope. |

Lightly raced mare was never sighted on handicap debut at Kilbeggan in April, having shown some promise in maidens; remains a potential improver. |

Has shown definite promise in two maiden outings though beaten a long way both times; has an edge over Neev's Dream on Naas running. |
