Veteran six-time winner; produced some good displays off much higher chase marks in 2025; continues to show plenty of zest, in front of Piccolo Player when third at Naas 13 days ago. |

Veteran six-time winner; produced some good displays off much higher chase marks in 2025; weakened into a 19.5l third here last time (2m3f, heavy); 13l behind Peaceinthevalley on that occasion; hit the front early that day, so perhaps can get closer more patiently ridden. |

Veteran six-time winner; produced several good displays off his much higher chase mark during 2025; hard to be sure how effectively he will cope on his return to hurdling at the age of 13 |

Useful jumper for Henry De Bromhead but regressive in four runs for Gordon Elliott and current wellbeing is a big issue; cheekpieces added. |

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. |

Second runner for stable; formerly trained by Willie Mullins; best effort in eight starts for current yard a 8.75l seventh behind a few of his rivals here in the Q.R. race at Galway; burst blood vessels on latest start at Tramore; coming down the weights but yard has a better chance with Seddon. |

Looked to be on the slide until running well when seventh of 20 in the big amateur handicap at Galway where headgear (left off here) seemed to help; pulled up over hurdles later that week; first visit here. |

12th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Has landed some notable handicaps at 2m, including over C&D in October 2023; creditable third when attempting to repeat that success and has had a break since; might be vulnerable to younger legs. |

2nd Feb 2025 Yielding 2m 5f 107y |

Has landed some big handicaps at 2m, notably at Aintree and Cheltenham in 2023; respectable third when attempting to repeat latter success in October and has had a break since; probably not quite the force of old and now steps up in trip. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Very useful for Willie Mullins and ran pretty well over these fences in the 2023 Topham; following a long absence this 11yo hasn't been devoid of promise for his new yard, but needs to take a significant step forward. |

Very useful when trained in Ireland by Willie Mullins; kicked off for this yard after a long absence but ran well in that race at Taunton (2m5f, good) after wind surgery, finishing best of the rest behind the smart Unexpected Party; enters the reckoning. |

Three-time Grade 2 winner in his pomp a few seasons ago; seemingly regressive and last of four in a Grade 2 latest; drop in class should help but may need to come down further in the weights; distant third behind Dunvegan in this last year from 10lb higher. |

Veteran with lots of class on his day but time seems to be catching up with him and tending to struggle this year; rarely tries handicaps but no threat at 50s in Galway Plate and hard to fancy albeit more suitable ground now. |
