30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |
11st 10lb |
Stayers' Hurdle winner at Cheltenham in 2024; second to Bob Olinger last year; experienced a rare off day when bidding to regain his crown last month, lost place at eighth and ran into traffic when rallying; despite that, strong chance of winning this race for the third time and adding to this season's Grade 1 wins at Fairyhouse and Leopardstown; blinkered for the first time. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
He has a very strong record in this race with a close third in 2023 (soft), a win in 2024 (soft) and a solid second to Bob Olinger 12 months ago (good to soft); won three Grade 1s since, latest the Christmas Hurdle at Leopardstown (2m7f, good to yielding) where he beat Bob Olinger by 7l (albeit with that rival lacking a recent outing, unlike this fellow); has had a break prior to running in this race in each of the last two seasons; leading player. |

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. |

2018 Supreme winner and has a smart level of recent form too; chased home Monkfish in a Grade 2 hurdle at Gowran last time and a repeat of that effort could be enough. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Best known as a very talented hurdler, also landing a Grade 1 novice chase in 2021; had jumping issues over fences subsequently and this is his first chase start since 2022; returned from some time off with a point win last month (3m, soft); it remains to be seen how much ability this 12yo retains but he's entitled to considerable respect on his hunter chase debut. |

Winner of nine races; 7-34 record over hurdles, including a four-runner Grade 2 event over 3m at Wetherby last October; ran creditably when seventh in the 26-runner Coral Cup at Cheltenham; down the field at Aintree subsequently; trip is short of his best but he won a stronger race than this over 2m2f at Ballinrobe a year ago; amateur rider, 2-11 over hurdles. |

Last year's winner is back to defend his crown; veteran beat the prolific Winged Leader at Oldtown in February; pulled up in the Tetratema at Gowran in March but much better effort when a 4l third at Cork (2m4f, yielding) last month; this trip will suit better; claims. |
