3rd May 2024 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 160y |
12st 0lb |
Form last season featured victories over Billaway and Its On The Line; outstayed by Its On The Line at Down Royal at Christmas before unchallenged win at Thurles; ran much too freely and did not jump fluently at times at Cheltenham; suffered a surprise reverse when failing to cope with Boss Robin at Fairyhouse. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 160y |
12st 0lb |
Won this for the third time last year; contrasting profile in the Cheltenham equivalent now having finished second in four consecutive years; easily the best of the Irish this year, with Panda Boy fifth and Wonderwall (his conqueror last year) seventh; never got competitive in the Aintree Foxhunter, a rare blot on his record; has his quirks, but as tough as they come. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won this in 2024 (heavy); beaten a neck by Barton Snow at last month's Cheltenham Festival (3m2f, good to soft), finishing a close second in that hunter chase for the fourth season in a row; at this trip he may prefer more testing ground than is likely today, but he's still entitled to respect. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Part of the furniture in this race after going agonisingly close in the last three runnings, especially 12 months ago when he stayed on strongly to push Wonderwall to a neck, after which he secured a repeat win at Punchestown; although it's hardly encouraging that he was turned over at 1-5 in his latest point, the winner is useful on his day and this 9yo didn't exactly arrive here 12 months ago with the wind in his sails; all roads have led to this and he has clear claims. |

12th Nov 2024 Good 3m 0f 74y |
11st 9lb |
Eight wins and nine seconds from 24 starts in points; too good for Ask D'Man at Stowlin in May; made a competent return behind the useful Wonderwall (a winner again since) and beat the useful Born To The Sea at Tinahely last month; 1-14 record over racecourse fences is a concern, but race-fitness should be an asset. |

11st 1lb |
Decent form in point-to-points but sole win under Rules came in a maiden hunter chase; beaten 16L into ninth in a handicap chase at Roscommon in June; wears usual cheekpieces but would be a surprise winner here. |

Four-time point' winner won a maiden hunter chase at Cork in April and was a 6.5l third to Its On The Line at Tipperary the following month; is 5lb better off with that rival today but lacks a recent run. |

3-3 in Irish points in early 2022 and runner-up in two hunter chases there that spring; however, it was after a long absence when pulled up at Exeter in a hunter chase won by Yippee Ki Yay. |
