Course specialist has won six chases in total, four of them here at 2m4f-2m7f on yielding to soft and good ground; runner up in this last season off 140 and same mark here; chance once a fall over the banks at Punchestown hasn't dented his confidence. |

4-29 over fences, including Midlands National at Kilbeggan last summer and a Cheltenham cross-country race (3m5f, good to soft) last November, having failed to compete on two earlier attempts at that course; finished third behind Delta Work over C&D in November 2022; struggling a long way from home in the Grand National. |

Best of his runs on heavy was his win in a maiden hurdle in 2020; fell in the 2022 Topham over these fences; won a Cheltenham cross-country race (3m5f, good to soft) in November, having come a cropper on two earlier attempts at that course, but this 8lb higher mark seems to demand another major career best. |

Better chaser than hurdler, winning at Downpatrick and Limerick last year; okay runs initially this year but well held over 3m2f last twice; back in trip here with a bit to find. |

Getting into the veteran stage and he's a better chaser; this trip is a minimum for him but little of note over hurdles for quite some time; change of headgear. |

Best days are presumably behind him at the age of 12 but he won a point-to-point in April and was competitive in a recent Wexford handicap; stayed on for second in a 2m4f contest with less depth than this event. |

It's been two years since his last success under rules but he looked on good terms with himself when winning his latest point and was only beaten 2l in this 12 months ago off 5lb higher; not ruled out. |

11st 7lb |
Very useful at peak for Henry de Bromhead in Ireland and came good for new stable at third attempt, causing 33-1 surprise with narrow success at Cartmel (2m5f, good) last month; it's hard to tell whether he'll be in the right mood again here but a 4lb rise ought to be manageable if he is. |

Three-time course winner, twice over fences in 2023 and won over hurdles here in April; struggled in a better race than this over C&D latest; this easier and can't be dismissed given his liking for this venue. |

16th Jun 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 51y |
10st 0lb |
Kilbeggan specialist with a couple of handicap chase wins in 2023 (including this race) and landed 2m2f handicap hurdle in April; fair third off higher chase mark at Ballinrobe since; 3lb wrong here but respected given his record here. |
13/2 |

26th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 136y |

Gained his tenth success (and first for this stable) when taking a handicap hurdle over 2m2f at Kilbeggan a month ago; most recent chase run saw him finish second to Flash De Touzaine at Limerick on stable debut; good chance he can reverse that form and go close in the process. |
