The 2025 Champion Chaser arrives here a fresher horse than most after missing Cheltenham with a sore neck; returned to action at Leopardstown in December with a pleasing effort behind Solness after making an early mistake; no match for Majborough at the DRF on testing ground but he's a much better horse on a sounder surface; won this in fine style last year and could repeat the dose. |

Top-class novice hurdler had an interrupted novice chase season but came good last term, finishing runner-up to Solness in this race before winning the Champion Chase at Cheltenham; he then followed up at Punchestown in style; did well to recover from an error on comeback over C&D last time, just losing out to Solness again; this testing ground is a question, but is the one to beat if handling it. |

Won a 2m Limerick maiden hurdle by 12l in January; four decent runs in defeat in conditions races over hurdles before being given a break; rated 120 over hurdles, so should be able to pay her way over fences. |

Better known as a chaser but has shown smart hurdles form in the past; would have a squeak if back in top form off a lower hurdle mark. |

2nd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 120y |
11st 6lb |
Two wins include this race last year off 2lb lower; standout run this term when second in Grade 3 Punchestown contest (2m7f), tame effort last time (albeit stiff task) in Grade 2 at Thurles; not one to rule out back in handicap company. |

Useful sort; best form at Punchestown, including when second to the talented Heart Wood three starts ago; 2-16 record over fences is not a great return bearing in mind his 147 rating; inferior to the four Mullins-trained runners on official figures |

Progressive 2m hurdler last season; second to stablemate Mister Policeman on chase debut at Fairyhouse in November; now 19lb better off but hard to be confident based on subsequent form; some encouragement from last week's Perth second, potentially well handicapped |

Progressive 2m hurdler last season; good second to a stable companion on chase debut at Fairyhouse in November (2m, soft/heavy); disappointing in better company since; down in grade but a bit to prove, including his stamina (first run at this trip). |

Bled in this last year; good form in first two starts for this yard at Killarney in the summer and creditable third of 17 in valuable 2m4f veterans' contest at Haydock last month; chance on that form. |

Last win came at Killarney last summer but retains level of ability judged on recent Haydock veterans' handicap third (good), best run for some time; whether or not he can back that up against more progressive types is debatable. |

Irish challenger who could be in the picture judged on his good form at Killarney last summer, and he's one to watch in the betting; however, he's been soundly beaten on his last three starts and has to get back on track. |

Dual-purpose type; most recent of two chase wins came in a 2m1f Killarney handicap chase in August 2024; best effort last year when fourth in a 24-runner handicap chase at the Punchestown festival; not a bad run at Fairyhouse after a break; however, Come On The Lads seems to be the yard's number one. |

Dual-purpose type; most recent of two chase wins came in a 2m1f Killarney handicap chase in August 2024; best effort last year when fourth in a 24-runner handicap chase at the Punchestown festival. best form over shorter than this and on better ground; lacks a recent run. |

Five wins and ten placed from 40 starts (2-20 over fences); disappointing since finishing fourth in a competitive Punchestown festival handicap, with several of these rivals behind him; finished behind Gaelic Arc (runner-up) at Killarney in July; remote sixth at the same venue last month when Gaelic Arc was pulled up. |

No success yet over fences and is beginning to look well exposed, the addition of cheekpieces (replaced here by blinkers) failing to bring improvement the last twice; declining mark but hard to fancy, although better ground in his favour. |

Cheekpieces are reached for following underwhelming run behind Ocean Of Mercy at Kilbeggan latest when 7.5l behind off level weights; may get closer now but in general 10 chasing runs have been middling. |

5th Sep 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 95y |

Is 0-9 chasing but a couple of placed-finishes; okay runs this year and his 7.5l fourth off 128 in a handicap around here last time was one of his best (3m2f, good to yielding); sets the standard on ratings. |
