26th Apr 2025 Good 3m 4f 146y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Delivered late to win this race on good ground last year by a neck, 26 days after his third in a heavy-ground Irish National; he shaped as if back to his best in the Grand National three weeks ago, travelling well to dispute the lead two out but ending up seventh as the 4m2f took its toll; this trip is presumably the ideal fit and, although 4lb higher than last year, a big run should be forthcoming if Aintree has not taken it out of him. |
7/1 |

5th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Third to Intense Raffles in the Irish National (3m5f, heavy) and delivered late to win the bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown (extended 3m4f, good; 6lb higher today) later last April; Grade 1 rivals proved far too hot for him this season and he failed to trouble Nick Rockett and Intense Raffles at Fairyhouse on latest outing, but he looks a far more interesting prospect for today's assignment and this could be when he wins again. |

22nd Feb 2025 Soft 3m 1f 165y |
11st 0lb |
Smart second-season novice last season, third to Intense Raffles in Irish National here before winning the 3m5f bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown; has fallen short at Grade 1 level in three runs this season but can't be ruled out dropped in grade here. |
8/1 |
