9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Unproven at this trip and reportedly never travelling when pulled up in the Ryanair at Cheltenham last month; however, he's won at this meeting in each of the last two seasons, landing the Grade 1 Manifesto Novices' Chase last April (2m4f, good to soft; Jango Baie third), and he produced a top performance in the Grade 2 Red Mills Chase at Gowran Park this February; could bounce back with big run for last year's winning trainer Willie Mullins. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
A fine hurdler whose three Grade 1 wins included the Ballymore at this meeting in 2023; has reached the same standard over fences, winning at the top level at Aintree (about 2m4f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) last April, and he was ultimately quite convincing in a tactical race at Gowran (about 2m3f, heavy) last month; his form doesn't yet match that of stablemate Fact To File but he is considered for a place. |

Quality sort reached his peak when winning a Navan Grade 2 hurdle over 2m6f in February; however, jumped badly right and was poor in the Pertemps Final last time; posted two decent chase runs in 2024 and should be difficult to beat if jumping soundly. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Never got seriously involved when ninth in the 2m5f handicap at last year's Festival; 2m6f-3m has proved just the ticket this winter with three wins (including the Punchestown qualifier) and a second, with last two outings in Grade 2; they were all in the mud but good to soft was fine earlier in career; tough customer and Gordon Elliott won this three times in a row not so long ago, twice with Sire Du Berlais among the topweights. |

Suited by testing conditions; won Pertemps Qualifier over this trip at Punchestown before readily taking less competitive 2m6f Clonmel conditions event; better again in 3m Grade 2 Galmoy Hurdle at Gowran when clear second to a 159-rated rival. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 8lb |
Faded into sixth at Punchestown (3m7f) last May on his only attempt at a marathon trip; worth another go, having rallied so well to win a major 3m handicap at Navan in November, but it's a little hard to ignore that clearly his best five ratings have been registered on soft or heavy going, as have all his four wins. |

21st Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 2f 0y |

Off the mark over fences at the third attempt off 130 at Naas last January (2m4f, soft); failed to make an impact at Cheltenham and faded from two out at Punchestown in a 3m7f handicap; produced in fine shape to win the Troytown on reappearance (3m, heavy); showed up well for a long way before fading from two out in the Theyestes last time (3m1f, heavy); can get involved |

Sole success over fences came in a Listed novice handicap at Navan in March 2025 (20.5f, heavy) for Pat Fahy; well held in four starts for this stable and, while he has slipped to a dangerous mark, he needs to revive; forecast rain a big plus. |

Dual hurdles winner won on handicap chase debut here in November (3m, soft) off 110; poor in two handicaps after, as well as in a novice contest here (2m5f, yielding) last time when 73l behind Nelson County. |

Dual hurdles winner got off the mark chasing around here at the fifth attempt back from a break on handicap debut over 3m in November (soft); pulled up after a bad mistake at Cork 19 days later but appeared to have few excuses for his 28l seventh at Navan last time (3m, soft to heavy); capable of getting involved on his best day. |

5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 15y |
11st 0lb |
Two-time winner was well beaten in this last year but ran a nice race on sole start since at Fairyhouse (3m2f, yielding) in January; 3lb rise for that 6l second seems harsh and this is harder but he has to be considered for yard that won this in 2024. |

Without a win over timber since October 2023 at Fairyhouse (3m, soft) off 102 and remains 8lb above that mark; has been out of form this season and no signs of a revival when pulled up on latest; others hold stronger claims. |

Leopardstown handicap hurdle winner in March 2024 (3m, soft to heavy); still in contention when falling at Cork on second chase start in November (2m5f, yielding); tailed off at Down Royal last time (2m4f, good to yielding); may do better in these conditions on handicap chase debut. |

Winner over fences; runner-up in a Wexford handicap chase in July; comes here on the back of a fall in a Sligo handicap hurdle and an unseat when hampered two out in a handicap hurdle here on Wednesday; stays well and far from impossible, but preparation has hardly been ideal. |

Sole Flat win (31 attempts) was debut in 2020; had two hurdle wins (2m5f and 2m4f) in 2025 and there have been bits of chase form in recent months; visor returning instead of blinkers might possibly help, but there are more likely candidates. |

Point/hurdles winner; 0-13 as a chaser and has been campaigned mostly over further but best form, shown in notable 2m4f/3m handicaps, helps to set the standard in this field; sold out of Willie Mullins' yard for £66,000 since last run. |

Point and hurdle winner is yet to score over fences but has lots of fine efforts to his name; only beaten 13l in the competitive Topham Chase at Aintree last time; this is a bit easier so has to be on the shortlist even though is unproven over this far. |

0-11 over fences and 14l behind Madara when sixth of 23 in the Plate at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) last month; however, that was still a respectable run and the fact he represents Willie Mullins, who has won three of the last six runnings and saddles three today, means he's not discounted. |
