25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Showed that he retained spark when fourth of five at Ayr (3m, soft) in January, when he made a bad mistake and jumped to the right at that left-handed track; goes right-handed today; however, tailed off in Grade 2 novice hurdle since and best form has come on soft/heavy going; a visor goes on. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Knows what these big-field handicaps are all about and it was a cracking run to be fourth in the Irish National in April last time considering he carried an 8lb penalty for winning the Ulster National; that Fairyhouse defeat was his first for this yard; entitled to run well. |

Beaten a short head in 2023 Thyestes; started last season brightly with Troytown fourth but pulled up in three big handicaps afterwards; surprise winner on debut for new yard in 2m4f Navan handicap hurdle early last month; maintained his revival with victory over Final Order in the 3m5f Ulster National; 8lb penalty makes this difficult. |

27th Feb 2024 Heavy 2m 6f 151y Class 3 |
12st 4lb |
Formerly useful but just one chase win (in 2022) from 11 attempts and he ended his time with Gordon Elliott on a quiet note; well-held last of four finishers in a point for new yard and his BHA mark likely flatters him. |

Won a Down Royal beginners' chase over this trip a year ago; has mostly run well in defeat since but never got involved at Naas last time; has to find more just 1lb lower. |

18th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 4f 42y |

Lots of sound runs in defeat over fences since winning at Down Royal last year; doesn't seem to be improving but has his chance in an open race. |

Triple hurdle winner is a maiden on Flat but some good runs in 2022; well beaten when last in this sphere in 2023; others make more appeal. |

Successful in Ireland and France; 2-2 since joining the George/Zetterholm stable, both wins in handicaps at Auteuil (2m3f/2m2f, heavy; hurdle/chase) in emphatic style; interesting contender in current form. |

15th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
His only win over fences (1-4) came on a right-handed track but he tends to jump left and got away with it in that novice chase; could upgrade his ninth place in the 2m4f handicap at Cheltenham but, even so, this company demands a good jolt of improvement on that form. |

Both wins over hurdles at Fairyhouse in early 2022; no joy since and 0-7 over fences; off since February 2025 and likely best watched on first start for new yard. |

Useful sort for Willie Mullins but has been well-held when facing mostly stiff tasks for this yard; another one today and best passed over. |

Two hurdle wins for Willie Mullins in 2020, obtaining a mark of 142; well beaten in six completed chase starts for his current stable, all in decent company; in touch when falling four out in a Grade 3 event here in January; should find things easier now in his first handicap. |

Bumper, hurdles and chase winner (2m5f); soundly beaten on both runs this term after long absence in 2m1f handicaps; return to longer trip may suit but hard to be confident in. |

Verdict
A very interesting novice event, very much added to by the presence on his chasing debut of good novice hurdles Ha D’Or. Hallowed Star could go close if coming back well from his fall last time, but the one to be on could well be MARVEL DE CERISY after an impressive display at Punchestown with the promise of more to come.
