27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Most recent of three wins came in 3m Perth handicap hurdle last summer; tailed off on comeback run at Newcastle and never counted over the banks at Punchestown festival early this month; trip on the short side reverting to hurdles. |

Most recent of three wins came in 3m Perth handicap hurdle last summer; tailed off on comeback run in early March in Newcastle handicap hurdle; hard to fancy. |

3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Narrowly got the better of a frustrating maiden at Perth (3m, good; from 5lb lower) last August; kept on into never-nearer fourth over fences at Sligo (3m2f) in October but absent since; best watched unless market speaks favourably. |

8th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 150y |
11st 10lb |
Dual hurdle and chase winner has regressed after a decent comeback run in December from a long absence, so questions remain. |

12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 6f 170y |
12st 0lb |
Veteran's two of four wins have come here, most recently C&D novice handicap chase in December 2022 (heavy); light campaign since, well held over C&D at Christmas (well-backed) and again twice since over hurdles; blinkers replace usual cheekpieces and opposable despite career-low chase mark and yard's recent return to form. |
12/1 |

4th 5 |
4th Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 20y |
10st 8lb |
Veteran has not done a great deal of racing; good effort when fourth at Punchestown (3m, heavy); out of money over fences at Limerick (2m7f, soft to heavy) and beaten 22l back at Punchestown last time (2m6f, soft to heavy); a fair bit to do at these weights. |

12th May 2023 Yielding 2m 3f 20y |
10st 9lb |
Got off the mark when winning a Fairyhouse handicap chase in testing ground in January; wasn't disgraced when out of the handicap in the Leinster National since; could still have improvement to come, so respected. |

11st 6lb |
Won maiden hurdle at Ffos Las in April 2021; inconsistent since switching from Britain; failed to build on a promising second at Limerick when only sixth back at that venue latest; fair mark if he's on a going day. |

Won over 2m6f when trained in Britain; couple of fair runs over 3m last year including over C&D on heavy; shaped like he needed it after eight months off when just behind Robyndeglory at Fairyhouse. |

Verdict
Sweet Will is likely to be a warm order for the in-form Gavin Cromwell here and has every chance of following up his impressive win over hurdles at Cheltenham, especially considering he is rated 10lb lower over fences. But a chance can be taken on THE TACK ROOM for John Kiely who was well beaten by Difficult Decision at Limerick but pretty much lost all chance when badly hampered at the eighth. He stuck on well despite that setback and could make the necessary improvement. Difficult Decision won that race contest easily but is up 9lb here and hasn’t always been the most consistent.
