Has recorded three of his five wins at Punchestown, the most recent was last June; ran well at a big price there in January on his second run after a break. |

10st 0lb |
Was gaining fourth win over fences when coping with better ground over 2m4f at Punchestown eight days ago, recording a third win at the track in what was a messy race; not certain to back that up but 4lb rise gives him every chance (2lb out of handicap but rider claims 3lb) and has won over hurdles around here. |

Three chase wins have come on soft/heavy ground; out of form since last win in March 2024; showed no sign of a return to form when beaten 27L at Down Royal last time; dropped 3lb but hard to fancy. |

Rolled back the years to win over fences at Navan in February but didn't stay 4m2f last time in the Uttoxeter Midlands National; races off his last winning hurdle mark, so not ruled out. |

Won't fail through lack of stamina but was pulled up on final two starts for Gordon Elliott during the winter and has not yet built upon his fairly respectable stable debut in March; tailed off when fourth of five here on Saturday (3m1f, good to soft); needs a sudden revival. |

11st 12lb |
Well beaten at Haydock last time (behind Genois) in a race he won the previous season; now below par in his last three chases and belatedly tries cheekpieces at the age of 11. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Won this last year (good) and followed up at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) in June off a mark 1lb higher than today's; pulled up/tailed off over fences on next two starts but his recent outing over hurdles was fairly encouraging and he could build on that now back chasing. |
10/1 |

2nd 4 |
24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Six-time chase winner who won last summer but twice disappointed since; he's 0-8 as a hurdler but ability needs respecting when there's no depth to this race. |
2/1 |
