25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 99y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Smart front-runner whose Grade 1 form features three wins at Leopardstown (2m1f) in 2024/2025 and neck second, showing career-best form, at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft) on latest start; one of the main contenders back down in distance. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 200y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Tailed off at Leopardstown in February when the soft ground was against him and a visor replaced his usual cheekpieces, which return today; prior to that he posted a third Grade 1 win at Leopardstown (2m1f, yielding) in December; there's a question mark regarding the step back up in trip for this front-runner but his trainer won this twice in a row with Fakir d'Oudairies in 2021 and 2022, and this 8yo arrives fresh after just two starts this winter; chance. |

11st 12lb |
Made huge progress last season, emerging from handicaps to win two Grade 1s over C&D including this race, beating Marine Nationale; wasn't as good at Cheltenham and Punchestown after but returned to again get the better of his old rival back over C&D last time; is at his best around this track, but the testing ground isn't in his favour; visor replaces cheekpieces. |

4th Jul 2023 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 114y |
11st 5lb |
Posted two fine efforts since returning from a lenghty absence but a fair way off that level when put firmly in his place on his most recent visit to Ballinrobe, albeit in a hot affair; first-time cheekpeices now added and if he puts his best foot forward, the pick of his form suggests he should be a tricky customer. |

6th Mar 2023 Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Punchestown maiden hurdle winner rated 130 in that sphere although well held the last twice, too keen and looking a tricky ride at same venue on latest; now sent chasing and encounters quickest ground so far. |

C&D maiden hurdle winner in January: beaten when falling two out in a Grade 2 novice next time; return at Sligo last month looked too bad to be true; poor fourth, 23l behind Tax For Max then |

11st 9lb |
Better chaser than hurdler, winning three of 20 chase starts; 0-10 over timber but is rated 17lb lower; winner of a Kilbeggan handicap chase in April (2m4f, yielding); unable to take advantage of lower hurdles mark at that track last month when 17l fourth of 13 (18.5f, good); could be thereabouts. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 99y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Has proved difficult to place since last win in March 2025 and form has taken a downturn of late; has the worst chance at the weights back up in class. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 13lb |
Pulled up in Ascot handicap in November and tailed off on sole outing since in the Champion Chase last month; it's hard to say what sort of form he's in but this C&D brought out the very best in him when runner-up in the Grade 1 Maghull Novices' Chase (good) 12 months ago; could go well back here. |
16/1 |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Lacked fluency and ran poorly at Ascot when last seen; ran creditably in C&D handicap the time before but that form is a long way below Champion Chase standard and he's comfortably held by Majborough on Punchestown festival running; has the worst chance on ratings. |

11st 5lb |
Cork maiden hurdle winner last autumn rated 119 in that discipline, reportedly coughing when a disappointing favourite in Fairyhouse novice last time when tried hooded; half-sister to 152-rated chaser Run Wild Fred could have more to offer now tackling fences. |

Out of her depth in a mares' Grade 1 here in April but got back on track with a maiden hurdle success at Cork in October; should have more to come and ground is fine; hood on. |
