11st 12lb |
Winner of his five of his first six starts over fences last year; performed with credit in Grade 1 company at Aintree and Punchestown in the spring; should be better for last month's Naas run; high-class profile, interesting to see how he fares in a handicap. |

12th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Looked a notch or two below championship standard for most of his career; however, he's taken his form to a completely new level with front-running Grade 1 wins at Leopardstown (yielding/good to yielding) the last twice, both times establishing a clear lead at various points and not for catching; stuck on gamely to beat Marine Nationale by 2l latest, confirming his sudden emergence as a realistic Champion Chase contender; possibilities, provided he's able to dominate in the same manner. |

12th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
11st 12lb |
Top weight when second from the rear in this last year, following fifth in the County at this meeting in 2022 and 2023; won a small-field conditions event at Christmas on sole start this term; brings a proud record but without that many wins and he's probably vulnerable off 4lb higher than last year. |
