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. |

Irish-trained 13yo who performed pretty well in last two Grand Nationals and has two French cross-country chase wins on his CV, the latter in Listed race at Craon (3m6f, very soft) in September; fell on his only C&D start and would appeal more on soft/heavy ground but still considered each-way. |

No further chase success since completing a hat-trick with Irish Grand National triumph in 2019; won over hurdles later that year; best display in recent seasons when fourth in 2021 Grand National; fell at the Chair in last year's race; absent since tailed off in the Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris last May.

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. |
