23rd Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 2f 175y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Useful for Willie Mullins, including when third of 15 finishers in the Galway Plate (2m6f, good; has won on soft/heavy) in July 2022; however, he has failed to complete in two starts this year, pulling up for new yard over hurdles in October, and has something to prove back over fences. |

3rd May 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Fared respectably in the Galway Plate before leaving Noel Meade for 60,000gns last August; tailed off over hurdles on stable debut before pulling up when 100-1 for the Grand National; an 11yo now and has to concede plenty of weight all round. |

5th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
40-1 winner at Kilbeggan (3m1f, good to yielding; the furthest he's been) last July and ran respectably in the Galway Plate (his only race with today's tongue-tie) before leaving Noel Meade for 60,000gns last August; probably in need of the race over hurdles on debut for new yard five weeks ago, but this 11yo needs a big career best. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 160y |
12st 0lb |
Smart staying handicap chaser in his prime; has found a new lease of life, winning two hunter chases at Thurles (beat Lifetime Ambition by 9l) and Naas (beat Hunters Yarn by 4l); might have found the ground a bit too quick when finishing fifth behind Barton Snow at Cheltenham; could play a featuring part. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Has always had some class about him and he went off only 11-1 for the Grand National two seasons ago; lost his way afterwards but he's back in the good books after winning two hunter chases and the RPR he posted at Naas last month (3m, heavy; fine on good ground) was up there with his best; with confidence seemingly buoyed he's a must for the shortlist. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 36y |
12st 0lb |
A good staying handicap chaser without ever winning one; twice placed in the Paddy Power at Leopardstown, fifth in the 2023 Irish Grand National, third in last season's Leinster National at this venue; third on point debut in November; responding well to a prominent ride at Thurles; 9l runner-up Lifetime Ambition (stablemate of Hunters Yarn) is a solid yardstick. |

6th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 0lb |
Opened chase account at the seventh attempt in a 2m4f event here in April; vulnerable now since he meets El Barra on 15lb worse than handicap terms and without the advantage of a recent run; stable's current form is a positive. |

11st 6lb |
11yo runner whose last win came in a handicap chase last year (2m4f, yielding); beaten 29l when last seen; may want it softer but cannot be totally ruled out. |
