6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 180y |
11st 10lb |
Six-time chase winner but no success since a Grade 2 win at Clonmel in November 2024; ran a cracker in this last year to finish a 0.75l second behind Found A Fifty; below par in both runs this season and needs to leave those tame efforts behind. |

28th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 90y |
11st 8lb |
Free-going front runner; 6-16 over fences; ran right up to his best at Fairyhouse last April (2m4f, soft to heavy), losing out by only 3/4l to Found A Fifty despite a costly error two out; made several mistakes when pulled up in the Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon on seasonal debut; flopped in the Boyne Hurdle in 2023 on his only Navan appearance. |

21st Apr 2025 Soft To Heavy 2m 3f 170y |
11st 10lb |
Front runner; 6-14 over fences; has alternated between hurdling and chasing since being pulled up in this race last season, winning over timber at Cork and Auteuil and adding a Clonmel Grade 2 Chase (2m5f, good) in November; has often raced too keenly, including when beaten at odds-on by a stablemate at Gowran in February. |

21st Apr 2025 Soft To Heavy 3m 5f 37y |
10st 11lb |
Twice placed in the Grand National; most recent win was in a Grade 2 chase at Navan two seasons ago; took time to find his form last season before being produced in fighting shape to finish a gallant second to Intense Raffles in this; could peak again now after two prep runs but no horse of his age has won this since Overshadow in 1953. |

Twice placed in the Grand National; most recent win was in a Grade 2 chase at Navan two seasons ago; took time to find his form last season before being produced in fighting shape for the Irish Grand National in which he finished a gallant second; veteran should be better for last month's reappearance at Fairyhouse. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 6f 154y |
11st 6lb |
Smart dual-purpose performer although hasn't won since taking 3m1f Kilbeggan conditions hurdle last summer; two recent runs under his belt could give him a fitness edge but lots to find on ratings with Hewick. |

8th Sep 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 5f 129y |
11st 6lb |
Eight-time winner, including four over hurdles; disappointed on the Flat at Killarney on return from 314-days off; should strip fitter now and handles soft but the majority of his best form has come on good ground; not discounted, especially if the track dries out. |

11st 10lb |
Seven career wins, the most recent when beating Asterion Forlonge in a Thurles conditions event last year; runner-up in the same contest last month after chasing home Monkfish at Gowran; consistent and deserves a change of luck but it is unlikely to come here. |

Off the mark in a maiden hurdle at Navan last term; shaped like he needed the run on return from 15 months off at Punchestown when last seen; may progress now handicapping and handles good/yielding ground. |

17th Jan 2023 Heavy 2m 0f 164y |
11st 12lb |
Won bumpers at the Galway and Listowel in September by an aggregate margin of 20l; has had only three runs since third in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham later that year, one of them on the Flat in the month before a clear-cut Navan maiden hurdle last season; off for another long spell before a recent outing at Punchestown; jumping was untidy then, should be sharper now, |
