11st 10lb |
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. |

10st 9lb |
2-14 score over fences and the second win came at 1-40 in a two-runner race; a notch or two below his best this season and his penultimate start (sole attempt over as far as 3m) was not promising for stamina. |

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. |

11st 9lb |
Four-time Grade 1 winner over fences at up to 2m5f; ran only twice last term (below form) and although his second run this term was a step back in the right direction, it remains to be seen whether the cross-country or this trip are his cup of tea. |

30th Mar 2025 Good To Yielding 3m 4f 120y |
11st 12lb |
Very useful for Willie Mullins, notably when placed in 3m1f Grade 1 novice events at Cheltenham and Aintree the season before last; lost form last season and yet to hit form in three runs for current yard, latest when faller in 3m1f Leinter National; 14lb off career-high but remains opposable and one of two runners for the owners. |

Very useful for Willie Mullins, notably when placed in 3m1f Grade 1 novice event at Cheltenham and Aintree the season before last; lost form last season, pulled up final two outings; tailed off on stable/seasonal debut at Clonmel and pulled up in Grade 3 at Tramore; down 12lb from career-high mark. |

Better known as a six-time winner over jumps, though her most recent success was in a 1m6f handicap at Gowran last summer; weak overall form since then, including on AW on her last two Flat runs; course winner over fences. |

15th Jun 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 2f 185y |
10st 7lb |
Second runner for yard; dual-purpose mare is 5-40 over hurdles; 9lb below last win but she's been out of form in 2025 in both codes; beaten 91l on latest hurdles start and 19l on the Flat at Leopardstown latest; others appeal more. |

Useful handicap hurdler at her best, with five wins (also a winner over fences); no fitness doubts but has been struggling lately; tailed off at Leopardstown on Monday. |
