Form & Verdict
Excellent fifth in the Galway Plate when the trip just stretched him; got back to winning ways quite easily in a 2m1f conditions chase at Ballinrobe in last month; this trip likely to be ideal and coming into this race in excellent form.

T: Gavin Cromwell

Dropping down the ratings since he won a three-runner Grade 2 contest at Gowran last autumn; no signs of a revival at Wexford last month when finishing well behind; it is hard to fancy him at the moment.

J: Keith Donoghue

T: Gavin Cromwell

Winner of a three-runner Grade 2 at Gowran in October (2m4f, good); well held in stronger Graded contests; poor run in a DRF handicap chase and pulled up when last seen in a handicap chase at the Punchestown festival last time from a 3lb higher mark.

W: 11st 6lb

6 yo Gelding

OR: 159

Form & Verdict
Has always had the ability but his headstrong characteristics have been used to his advantage on his last three starts; has particularly impressed with his jumping and his ability to sustain a gallop at Galway and Killarney last twice; will be hard to peg back here.

J: Danny Mullins

T: W P Mullins

Six-time chase winner but no success since a Grade 2 win at Clonmel in November 2024; ran a cracker in this last year to finish a 0.75l second behind Found A Fifty; below par in both runs this season and needs to leave those tame efforts behind.

Front runner; 6-14 over fences; has alternated between hurdling and chasing since being pulled up in this race last season, winning over timber at Cork and Auteuil and adding a Clonmel Grade 2 Chase (2m5f, good) in November; has often raced too keenly, including when beaten at odds-on by a stablemate at Gowran in February.
