6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 180y |

Eight-time chase winner; beat Majborough and Energumene at Cork in December; won this race last year, holding off the late challenge of Saint Sam (Blood Destiny a 7.25l third); pulled up in the Champion Chase last time, but this is more his level and he is the one to beat. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Fared best of the rest behind the impressive winner in the 2024 Arkle but weakened into last of five finishers in this contest last season and has largely fallen short at Grade 1 level in open company; beaten 19l by Majborough at this year's Dublin Racing Festival and flopped when back down in class at Navan (2m4f; blowing hard post race) later in February. |

Won a competitive handicap chase at the 2024 festival for Henry de Bromhead (2m4f, good to yielding); hunter chase victory over Hunters Yarn at Gowran Park showed that he retains considerable ability; confirmed that impression when beating all bar star hunter Barton Snow at Aintree; goes well for Sophie Carter. |

Won a competitive handicap chase at the Punchestown festival in May 2024 for Henry de Bromhead (2m4f, good to yielding) and winning a hunter chase at Gowran Park (3m1f, heavy) last month showed that he retains considerable ability at the age of 11; firmly in calculations. |

Connections clearly think 8yo has a day in him, favourite when second over this trip at Punchestown in January and again when finding one too good in Thurles chase the following month; poor run when last seen in March; interesting to see what he can do on better ground if he's ready. |

9th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Tried chasing twice in Ireland and was an 11l second of 18 in a 2m handicap in one of those; only had three hurdle starts for Olly Murphy and the best was the opening one when second off 3lb lower at Worcester; has to be feared in a first-time tongue-tie. |

0-22 under rules, but having been well supported he ran his best race so far when second of ten on stable debut at Worcester (2m, good to soft) last month (first and fourth have won since); up 5lb but still 1lb well in and shortlisted if building on that. |

Verdict
Lots of dead wood here but nonetheless an intriguing maiden centred around the three leading yards. Henry de Bromhead belatedly introduces the expensive point-to-point winner Lets Go Champ, for whom the market may prove the best guide, while Willie Mullins saddles Houlanbatordechais who proved a bit wayward in bumpers last season, having won twice in France, and Gordon Elliott wastes no time in sending FOUND A FIFTY over hurdles after folding tamely in a bumper here last month, the point-to-point winner having looked all over the winner in the straight. [Alan Hewison]
