3rd Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
A three-time hunter chase winner for Willie Mullins but it was a forgettable first run back with that yard when tailed off at Gowran a month ago; cheekpieces are now added and returning here might float his boat as he was third in both the 2022 Topham and this race 12 months ago. |

24th May 2024 Good 3m 4f 165y |
12st 0lb |
One of the best hunter chasers in recent seasons; won at Cheltenham and Punchestown festivals in 2022 and landed this race a year ago when outstaying Vaucelet; ran top hunter Its On The Line close at Naas in February but well behind that rival when fifth at Cheltenham and flat effort at Punchestown last time; probably on the decline at this stage but still a huge player here. |

3rd May 2024 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 160y |
12st 0lb |
Won this event two years ago, beating Vaucelet; unseated at fourth last season, when the race was won by Its On The Line; made a bright start to the season when narrowly beaten by Its On The Line at Naas (a race he had won in four consecutive years); almost 12l behind Its On The Line at Cheltenham; seems to be past his peak now but remains very capable. |

3rd May 2024 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 160y |
12st 0lb |
Form last season featured victories over Billaway and Its On The Line; outstayed by Its On The Line at Down Royal at Christmas before unchallenged win at Thurles; ran much too freely and did not jump fluently at times at Cheltenham; suffered a surprise reverse when failing to cope with Boss Robin at Fairyhouse. |

12th Nov 2024 Good 3m 0f 74y |
11st 9lb |
Eight wins and nine seconds from 24 starts in points; too good for Ask D'Man at Stowlin in May; made a competent return behind the useful Wonderwall (a winner again since) and beat the useful Born To The Sea at Tinahely last month; 1-14 record over racecourse fences is a concern, but race-fitness should be an asset. |

11st 1lb |
Decent form in point-to-points but sole win under Rules came in a maiden hunter chase; beaten 16L into ninth in a handicap chase at Roscommon in June; wears usual cheekpieces but would be a surprise winner here. |
