29th Apr 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 213y |
11st 10lb |
Confirmed his staying power with Bowl win at Aintree last year; got his campaign off to a fine start with John Durkan victory from Fact To File over 2m4f here; third in a blanket finish in the King George before 5l second to a restored Fact To File at Leopardstown; travelled powerfully for stunningly impressive Gold Cup triumph to leap-frog Fact To File in the ratings. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 70y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Won the Arkle here (2m, soft) in March 2024 and relished the step up to 3m1f in the Grade 1 Bowl at Aintree (good to soft) last April; that win has been the catalyst for a string of excellent efforts, including his third in a blanket finish in the King George (3m, good to soft) in December and his 5l second in the Irish Gold Cup (3m, soft) last month; can be difficult to settle which is something of a concern in view of today's stiff stamina test, but on the flip side he's been finishing his races strongly; respected. |

11st 10lb |
Won the Arkle at Cheltenham in 2024; kept at shorter distances until impressive in the Grade 1 Bowl at Aintree (3m1f, good to soft) last April; ended the campaign with a fine Sandown win and began again in style, edging out Fact To File in the John Durkan; third in a thrilling King George; will need to settle better to maximise his chance at this track. |

26th Apr 2025 Good 2m 6f 164y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Impressive in last season's Arkle (2m, soft) and rediscovered that abundant promise when upped in trip to win the Grade 1 Bowl at Aintree (3m1f, good to soft) 23 days ago; has run well on good to yielding going (unraced on good); he's the one to beat if repeating that latest form. |
