12st 0lb |
Won this for the third time last year; contrasting profile in the Cheltenham equivalent now having finished second in four consecutive years; easily the best of the Irish this year, with Panda Boy fifth and Wonderwall (his conqueror last year) seventh; never got competitive in the Aintree Foxhunter, a rare blot on his record; has his quirks, but as tough as they come. |

12st 0lb |
Won this in 2024 (heavy); beaten a neck by Barton Snow at last month's Cheltenham Festival (3m2f, good to soft), finishing a close second in that hunter chase for the fourth season in a row; at this trip he may prefer more testing ground than is likely today, but he's still entitled to respect. |

Part of the furniture in this race after going agonisingly close in the last three runnings, especially 12 months ago when he stayed on strongly to push Wonderwall to a neck, after which he secured a repeat win at Punchestown; although it's hardly encouraging that he was turned over at 1-5 in his latest point, the winner is useful on his day and this 9yo didn't exactly arrive here 12 months ago with the wind in his sails; all roads have led to this and he has clear claims. |

Form last season featured victories over Billaway and Its On The Line; outstayed by Its On The Line at Down Royal at Christmas before unchallenged win at Thurles; ran much too freely and did not jump fluently at times at Cheltenham; suffered a surprise reverse when failing to cope with Boss Robin at Fairyhouse. |

Second runner for yard; six-time point winner has been well below his best in that sphere last season and isn't easy to fancy on that form. |

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. |

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. |
