13th Apr 2024 Heavy 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
11st 12lb |
2022 Grand National winner and fourth in it (again on good to soft) last year when he was hard work from out the back and never got near the leaders; hurdling on last three starts, winning a Grade 2 but coming up well short when the cheekpieces (which had served him well hitherto) were restored at Cheltenham one month ago; just 1lb lower than last year but his strength of stamina will presumably be well served by a slog in the mud. |

4-28 over fences; respectable seventh in the Galway Plate and reappeared four days later to win a conditions event at the same venue, beating the 14lb-conceding Easy Game with Janidil third; did not jump well in Kerry National. |

Troytown winner in 2021 and second in the National Hunt Chase later that season; has not been a force in recent seasons; pulled up in a point in January; risky at this stage. |

4th Jul 2023 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 14y |
10st 5lb |
Goes well fresh and again shaped nicely on reappearance over hurdles at Kilbeggan; 6lb higher mark as a chaser and overall record is not the strongest (1-10), although has a nice pull with King Ferdinand for a 9.75l defeat last October, so far from ignored. |

19th Jun 2023 Good 3m 0f 100y |
10st 13lb |
Is 1-28 over hurdles; hit the frame in a couple of starts this winter but lost her way subsequently; can go well fresh so not ruled out despite 130-day absence. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Second in each of his last four point starts, only one of them as high as open class; among the non-finishers with Blagthebookies at Cheltenham in May when last seen in this sphere; overlooked. |

2nd May 2025 Good 4m 0f 97y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Formerly very useful for Gordon Elliott but made low-key stable/hunter chase debut in February and his three subsequent pointing seconds all came in small fields; swaps visor for refitted blinkers today. |
