Veteran stepped up on hunter chase form with a battling win in the Galway Blazers Chase; that proved he is not a back number but the stable has stronger candidates for this. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Grade 1 novice chase winner for Willie Mullins in 2020 but absent since running respectably in Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris in May 2023 and it's very hard to gauge how much ability he retains. |
20/1 |

3rd 9 |
15th Mar 2023 Soft 3m 6f 37y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Grade 1 novice chase winner at Leopardstown in December 2020 and creditable fourth in the 3m Grade 1 Savills Chase there in December this season; this classy sort is Willie Mullins' sole contender and could have a part to play if he takes to this unique course at the first attempt. |

27th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 110y |
10st 8lb |
Prolific winner under both codes, last two hurdle wins were in claimers at Roscommon and Sligo last summer; fourth to Ahead Of The Posse when attempting repeat Roscommon win on latest but enjoys a big turn around in the weights with that rival here so has to be considered a major player. |
11/4 |

Comfortable winner of this race 12 months ago (on good ground) and ran okay in a handicap 22 days ago when returning from a lengthy break; likely to go well. |
