25th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Talented sort won Paddy Power at Leopardstown in 2024 and valuable handicap hurdle back there at last year's DRF; only 10-1 for last year's Grand National where he fell early on; well back when unseating 4 out in the National last month and pulled up at Punchestown; has worn a tongue-tie before, cheekpieces now added. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 104y |
11st 10lb |
Won major 3m handicaps at Leopardstown last season over fences and hurdles; light campaign this term with Aintree in mind but never counted before unseating four out in National last month; fresher horse than most of these so could improve but certainly needs to. |

10st 9lb |
Won major 3m handicaps at Leopardstown over fences (by 7l, going away) and hurdles before starting joint-third favourite for last year's National, but he fell on the first circuit; it's too early to forget his best performance (Christmas 2024) but with nothing to shout about in his two races this winter, this time he could be an outsider. |

1st Aug 2025 Good 2m 6f 111y |
11st 1lb |
Galway specialist with all three wins having come at the track; back-to-back winner over hurdles and fences here last term at 2m and 2m6f on soft and good to yielding; well beaten in two starts in May in Punchestown and Ballinrobe; he's up 12lb since his chase win last season, but he loves this place. |

1-13 over fences; won back to back races at Galway last August-September including a chase (22.5f, gd-yld) off 113; well-beaten off this mark on return from six months off when behind a couple of these at Punchestown; others make more appeal. |

Placed many times over hurdles and was a fine 3rd on chasing debut at Galway (2m2f) after a break; this longer trip will suit better and should go close. |

3rd Oct 2023 Soft To Heavy 2m 2f 110y |

Usually thereabouts in maiden hurdles, posting an RPR of 125 when second at Cork on his penultimate run (3m, yielding to soft); this trip looks on the tight side for chase debut but his ability is respected. |

5th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
Big improver sent chasing by his new yard last season and he then disputed the lead over the final fence in this race, only to end up 16l behind in seventh; needs to see it out a lot better and, after he faded well out of contention on all three starts this term, he nevertheless returns to Aintree with a 1lb higher mark than last year. |

Big improver over fences on joining this yard last season, notably running away with 3m Paddy Power here and good third in Ultima at Cheltenham; two runs here this term well below best, in Paddy Power and never landing a blow off considerably lower hurdles mark at DRF; another with a bit to prove right now. |

15-race maiden whose best efforts have been over shorter distances; not in the best of form right now and blinkers are tried. |

6th Aug 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 5f 147y |
10st 0lb |
0-14 under Rules, not a bad run at Limerick in May when beaten 6.5L in a 2m3f handicap chase off 77; looked a non-stayer over further the last twice and this drop back in trip should suit but it is hard to make a solid case for him. |

First reserve; yet to hit the frame in 13 career starts; best effort when sixth in a handicap chase at Limerick (2m4f, good) in May; needs to find more. |

11th Nov 2024 Good 2m 4f 110y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Ex-Irish 6yo who is only 1-11 over fences, the win gained at Ffos Las (2m3f; stable debut) in May; has failed to back up that form in two subsequent starts (had further wind surgery since latest) and looks more exposed than these rivals. |

28th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Ex-Irish 6yo who was given a wind op before winning quite stylishly on stable debut at Ffos Las (2m3f, good) in May; disappointed when favourite to follow up at Bangor last month but could plausibly still have more improvement to come for this stable; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers. |
