11st 10lb |
Veteran who won 3m6f Listed cross-country race at Craon last September, repeating a 2024 success; finished seventh in the 2023 Grand National and ninth in 2024; pulled up the Becher in December on his most recent Aintree run; won this event in 2022 and second in 2023 and 2024; asking a lot now at the age of 14. |

10st 4lb |
Bold show when seventh in this race in 2023 but he did not take to it so well when ninth last year; impressive in a French cross-country race in September but has not shone since, particularly back in France last Saturday, and he lacked any finishing punch when seventh in the Cheltenham cross-country; 13yo but the handicapper is showing very few concessions for his age. |

14th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
11st 9lb |
Winner of the 2019 Irish Grand National and has contested the last two Nationals around here, finishing fourth in 2021 (travelled strongly before not getting home) and departing at The Chair 12 months ago; confined to just two starts in the meantime and there were plenty of positives to take from his return from an absence at Down Royal when behind big National hope Longhouse Poet; this race might just suit him down the ground. |

Only made one appearance after chasing home stablemate Run Wild Fred in this race last year, falling at the sixth last in the Irish National; not easy task on return from 223-day absence to shoulder big weight (2lb higher than his mark here 12 months ago) but experienced conditional's 5lb claim a help. |

11st 0lb |
Former Grade 2 novice winner; needed the run at Clonmel in November after a lengthy absence; put in an encouraging display when third in the Thyestes; let down by his jumping in the Bobbyjo Chase, ending up a long way behind Now Where Or When who is rated 17lb inferior to him. |

Classy sort has endured absences from action in the last two seasons but showed he is as good as ever with two solid runs this term; is closely matched with Carefully Selected on Thyestes running but best form is on softer ground. |

Took well to fences 2020/21 season, winning 2m6f Grade 2 at Punchestown and second in Limerick Grade 1 event; ran only once last season; struggled in good company in the Clonmel Oil Chase on return, but will be a lot sharper now; first-time cheekpieces, as well as tongue-tie worn before; rider's claim a major plus-factor. |
