15th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Has never finished out of the first three in his nine races over fences, including when third in the 3m5f Irish Grand National (yielding) last term and arriving on the scene in the nick of time to send the favourite backers home happy in last month's 3m6f NH Chase at Cheltenham (soft); this even greater stamina test has to make appeal. |

14th Mar 2023 Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Second-season novice; not that far off the best last term, staying on for third in 3m Grade 1 in the mud at this meeting before confirming his stamina when also taking third in the 3m5f Irish Grand National; won 3m Grade 1 novice at Leopardstown in December and 2m5f was against him on latest start; has the best form and presents a very strong case. |

Dual Grade 1 winner as a novice hurdler; 0-6 over fences but campaigned at a high level; third behind stablemate Gallopin Des Champs in Grade 1 here in February; same placing in Brown Advisory and in Irish Grand National (Front Assault now 15lb worse off); chased home Mighty Potter in the Drinmore; longer trip should help his cause. |
