2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 7f 68y |
10st 13lb |
Dual chase winner last term and good third to Daily Present in 3m2f Kim Muir at Cheltenham; has struggled in big handicaps this season, exception a never-nearer remote third in Leinster National; never really recovered from bad early blunder when pulled up in Irish National on latest; others look more reliable. |

10st 10lb |
Dual chase winner last term and ran a cracker in the Kim Muir over 3m2f at Cheltenham; not at the same level in four runs since, including when always behind and pulled up at Leopardstown last time; needs to show some spark. |

10st 12lb |
Dual chase winner last term and ran a cracker in the Kim Muir over 3m2f at Cheltenham; hasn't been at that level since and was beaten a long way in the Paddy Power here last time, so has to do much better. |

13th Apr 2024 Heavy 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
11st 12lb |
2022 Grand National winner and fourth in it (again on good to soft) last year when he was hard work from out the back and never got near the leaders; hurdling on last three starts, winning a Grade 2 but coming up well short when the cheekpieces (which had served him well hitherto) were restored at Cheltenham one month ago; just 1lb lower than last year but his strength of stamina will presumably be well served by a slog in the mud. |

20th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 185y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Irish raider; 0-10 over fences and has same strike-rate over hurdles; not favoured by the weights when well-beaten last of three in recent Killarney beginners' chase and has better chance in this handicap but his record over the last year or so is not compelling. |

Vastly inferior hurdler to his two rivals and he's now 0-9 over fences; should be outclassed. |

Now 0-10 chasing and hasn't progressed from his novice season; looks to have a good bit to find. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
He's on a competitive mark on chase form as recent as last July; however, he hasn't been at his best on either outing this winter and is now 0-9 over fences; needs to raise his game in first-time blinkers (replacing a visor); well beaten in the NH Chase (3m6f) at last season's Festival. |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 2f 0y |

Bumper/hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott; 0-8 chasing; well beaten when unseating at the last in the Troytown at Navan (3m, heavy); better effort when 14l behind in the Paddy Power (3m, yielding) at Leopardstown; others preferred. |
