Thyestes winner of 2024 for Henry de Bromhead (off 144) went on to finish decent sixth in Grand National but long absent until faller at the last after never featuring on yard debut in 3m bet365 Premier Chase at Kelso in February; best form on heavy so obvious ground concerns.

Reserve; 12yo who had his finest hour when winning the Thyestes at Gowran Park (3m1f, heavy) in January 2024; sixth in that year's Grand National and he's 8lb lower today, but that's having raced just once since (having left Henry de Bromhead for £40,000 last October) when taking a final-fence fall, well beaten at the time, in a Listed event six weeks ago.

T: T Ellis

12yo who had his finest hour when winning the Thyestes Chase at Gowran Park (3m1f, heavy) in January 2024, and he was far from disgraced when sixth in that year's Grand National; absent since, however, and changed hands for £40,000 in October 2025; bit to prove after a long absence; would probably benefit from plenty of rain.

T: Henry De Bromhead

The 18-runner Thyestes at Gowran Park (3m1f, heavy) in January was a deserved big-race win, since which he's been bought by today's sporting amateur rider (same stable); has not had much racing for a 10yo but disappointed when both 6-1 at the 2022 Cheltenham Festival and just 10-1 in last year's National, in the latter weakening badly on the turn for home.
