11st 9lb |
Long time winless; showed a spark over hurdles in October; mark was 144 after he finished second to Solness in late 2023; no worthwhile chase form since and handicapper has now relented; still, big revival needed under Cobden. |

Better chaser, although last win came over 2m1f at Listowel festival in 2023 (off 132); encouraging hurdles return at Galway in October but hasn't built on that in three starts since; back chasing here off considerably higher mark so claims not obvious but yard going well. |

Better chaser; generally well below best last season; encouraging run at Galway on return despite slipped saddle; led most of the way when weakening at Navan; remote fifth at Tramore; 1-1 at the track; well treated relative to chase mark. |

Useful dual-purpose performer had good form in staying handicaps last year; around 5l off Busselton at Galway and weighted to turn the tables; no show over fences later in the week at Ballybrit; ran well on sole previous outing here. |

10st 4lb |
Winner here over hurdles and third chase win came in 2m2f Listowel handicap chase last September (off 116) after more than a year's absence; another good comeback run at Haydock in February, not so good at Kelso a fortnight later over shorter trip; this probably the limit of his stamina. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
12yo who has returned to his best this season, defying an absence to win at Listowel (2m1f, yielding to soft) in September before solid third at Haydock (2m4f, soft) a fortnight ago; the drop back in trip may well be a positive and he could be thereabouts. |
7/1 |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 3 |

Made light of a 13-month absence when landing 2m1f handicap chase at Listowel in September; 11lb higher today but that form worked out well so this Irish challenger can't be totally dismissed after another layoff. |
