5th 1 |
2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 7f 68y |
11st 12lb |
All three chase wins have been at Fairyhouse, notably the 2024 Irish National; well below best this season however, most recently at same venue in Grade 3 Bobbyjo Chase in February; hard to be confident in and wants softer ground. |
20/1 |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 2f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Best efforts have come at this track with all three chase wins coming here, notably the 2024 Irish National; chased home Nick Rockett in this race last season; performances this season have been disappointing; faded from four out at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft); pulled up in the Welsh National (3m6f, good to soft) and same story in the Theyestes last time; needs to come back to form. |

11st 11lb |
Best efforts at Fairyhouse; all three chase wins there, notably the 2024 Irish National; confirmed liking for that track when chasing home Nick Rockett last February; failed to take to the fences in the Grand National; faded from four out in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury in November; very laboured display in the Welsh National, pulled up at the 15th; up against it now. |

5th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Just a 7yo but he contested chases in France as early as March 2022; unbeaten last year in his first three Irish races, culminating in the Irish Grand National (3m5f, heavy) in which he was always prominent and overcame an uncharacteristic blunder four out; they'll go a lot faster today, while he's also on different ground (the big question) and switching to a left-handed chase, but he made an excellent return to fences just behind Nick Rockett at Fairyhouse six weeks ago and that makes him look one of the best handicapped contenders in this race. |
