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. |

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. |

24th May 2024 Good 3m 4f 165y |

High-class hunter when at his best but that hasn't been for some time; second in Punchestown Champion Hunter Chase in 2022 (to Billaway) and 2023 and also found Billaway too good in this race last year; finished upsides his old rival when well held at this year's Punchestown festival; better for that after four months off but hard to be bullish. |

12st 0lb |
Dual chase winner but last win was a Tipperary novice hunter chase in May 2023 (3m, good to yielding; first-time tongue-tie); on a good mark and there was a more encouraging run last time. |

Dual hunter chase winner in 2023 has been regressive since last autumn but this better ground is a help and he could produce an improved performance. |

Formerly useful when trained in Ireland but couldn't make any case on recent pointing exploits; blinkers replace regular cheekpieces. |

2nd Jul 2023 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Irish challenger who does not look particularly solid judged on his form in points and hunter chases for current yard; faller last time; something to prove back at handicap level. |

Useful Rules performer ran two decent races off 133 in Galway festival handicap chases last summer; won just one of his seven point-to-point starts this year, at Ballyraggett in March, but his fourth to Billaway, with Vaucelet in second, at Downpatrick is good form and obviously less to do in this company. |

Second reserve; sole success came between the flags; 0-13 over fences and no signs of a breakthrough success in recent runs; pulled up when last seen in July; well out of the handicap here and hard to fancy. |

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. |

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. |

12th Nov 2024 Good 3m 0f 74y |
11st 9lb |
Showed good form on the track two seasons ago; ran his rivals ragged from the front in a maiden hunters' chase at Thurles (only three finishers); fine effort when sixth (second-best of the Irish) in the Foxhunters' at Aintree; missed last year's pointing campaign; has has two runs this term; third behind the smart Winged Leader 16 days ago was encouraging. |

10st 7lb |
Left clear at final fence to exploit reduced mark at Down Royal (2m4f, good to yielding) on Boxing Day 2024 and will be fine over this longer trip but this is his first run since and he's a 12yo now. |
