Veteran stayer won back-to-back handicap chases at Down Royal and Fairyhouse (3m5f Porterstown Chase) late last year; has warmed up for this with a hurdles run; a bold showing is not out of the question. |

Last success over hurdles came in a Downpatrick maiden in July 2022; has never won a handicap of any description and hasn't looked like changing that in recent starts; new blinkers need to provide a spark. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 7f 68y |
11st 0lb |
Career highlight when winning last season's Kim Muir at Cheltenham (3m2f, good-to-soft); two prep runs over hurdles this season before attempting repeat Cheltenham bid but none too fluent and never landed a blow on quicker ground; bit to prove right now but rider's claim a positive. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Backed into 12-1 when winning this off 6lb lower last year (good to soft) under Barry Stone, when clear with Johnnywho (who won the Ultima on Tuesday off 6lb higher than 12 months ago); pulled up in the Irish National next time and well beaten/pulled up over hurdles on both runs this season, so has something to prove regarding current form, but he could go well back here. |

2nd Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 19y |
10st 10lb |
Last season's Kim Muir winner; earlier hurdles form included 2m6f Navan handicap win off 128 (heavy); probably needed the run on comeback over C&D at Christmas, so more expected of now and yard in fine form. |

Seven-time winner, including four over fences; ran a fine race over the orthodox fences when second in a 3m7f handicap at last season's festival; made all to win a Wexford handicap last August before pulling up in the Kerry National; remote seventh behind Desertmore House here in November. |

Promising second at Punchestown festival (near-4m) but well held in first-time blinkers in Mayo National won by the Galway Plate hero Western Fold; repeated last year's success when making all to an emphatic win at Wexford last month; 10lb higher now but sure to stay. |

Off the mark at 19th attempt chasing last month when forcing tactics adopted in 3m2f Down Royal handicap, ready success on good ground; 7lb rise leaves him just 1lb out of the handicap which is negated by rider's claim; interesting if ground continues to dry out. |

Hurdle winner is yet to win over fences in 18 starts but ran a fine race at Clonmel last time over nearly 3m; stepping up in trip will be a help and can be involved off the same mark. |

Still seeking a first chase win after 17 attempts, runner-up three times and has run creditably in the last two editions of the 3m6f Portertstown Chase at Fairyhouse; others seem more likely unless cheekpieces do the trick. |

Exposed but useful on his day; latest of three chase wins came off same mark in veterans' chase on this card a year ago; ran well in Midlands National at Kilbeggan next time and stays this far; after a layoff, ran okay at Wexford last month but probably vulnerable to those with more upside. |

11st 11lb |
Chasing career appeared to be going nowhere fast until popping up at 40-1 in a 3m3f Listed handicap at Punchestown (heavy; cheekpieces removed), in which he was well beaten the year before; whether he'll follow one good run with another is anyone's guess, though the softening ground has helped his cause. |

Dual hurdle winner who is 0-7 over fences but has been mixing it in smart company and was only 9-1 when failing to fire in the Thyestes on final appearance in January; has a race in him off this mark but confidence would be welcomed first time back. |

0-14 since bumper win in 2022; fourth and second in the last two Scottish Nationals, latterly off a reduced mark when wearing second-time cheekpieces two weeks ago; while that was a welcome return to form, position 12lb out of the handicap today demands so much more; 5lb claimer is called up. |

Won a bumper three years ago but 0-13 since; competitive over fences last season and his 6l fourth at 50-1 in this race (soft; 8lb lower today) last April reads well, but a poor sequence since was not greatly improved by his eighth when wearing first-time cheekpieces in last month's 3m6f NH Chase. |

Punchestown 3m7f handicap chase win in April 2022 (good) remains his most recent under rules, but the first of two point starts netted him a last-gasp Bangor-on-Dee success in March; strike-rate of only 1-11 over 3m3f or more, but this would be easier than almost any of those. |
