1st May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 160y |
12st 0lb |
Won this for the third time last year; contrasting profile in the Cheltenham equivalent now having finished second in four consecutive years; easily the best of the Irish this year, with Panda Boy fifth and Wonderwall (his conqueror last year) seventh; never got competitive in the Aintree Foxhunter, a rare blot on his record; has his quirks, but as tough as they come. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won this in 2024 (heavy); beaten a neck by Barton Snow at last month's Cheltenham Festival (3m2f, good to soft), finishing a close second in that hunter chase for the fourth season in a row; at this trip he may prefer more testing ground than is likely today, but he's still entitled to respect. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Part of the furniture in this race after going agonisingly close in the last three runnings, especially 12 months ago when he stayed on strongly to push Wonderwall to a neck, after which he secured a repeat win at Punchestown; although it's hardly encouraging that he was turned over at 1-5 in his latest point, the winner is useful on his day and this 9yo didn't exactly arrive here 12 months ago with the wind in his sails; all roads have led to this and he has clear claims. |

24th May 2024 Good 3m 4f 165y |
12st 0lb |
One of the best hunter chasers in recent seasons; won at Cheltenham and Punchestown festivals in 2022 and landed this race a year ago when outstaying Vaucelet; ran top hunter Its On The Line close at Naas in February but well behind that rival when fifth at Cheltenham and flat effort at Punchestown last time; probably on the decline at this stage but still a huge player here. |

3rd May 2024 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 160y |
12st 0lb |
Won this event two years ago, beating Vaucelet; unseated at fourth last season, when the race was won by Its On The Line; made a bright start to the season when narrowly beaten by Its On The Line at Naas (a race he had won in four consecutive years); almost 12l behind Its On The Line at Cheltenham; seems to be past his peak now but remains very capable. |

Second runner for yard; six-time point winner has been well below his best in that sphere last season and isn't easy to fancy on that form. |

3rd Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
A three-time hunter chase winner for Willie Mullins but it was a forgettable first run back with that yard when tailed off at Gowran a month ago; cheekpieces are now added and returning here might float his boat as he was third in both the 2022 Topham and this race 12 months ago. |

Veteran stepped up on hunter chase form with a battling win in the Galway Blazers Chase; that proved he is not a back number but the stable has stronger candidates for this. |

Three-time point-to-point winner (twice on heavy); 1-5 over hurdles; solid run on third chase start at Listowel in September (2m6f, gd-yld); rated 125 and a repeat of that last run may be enough to take this. |
