26th Apr 2025 Good 3m 4f 146y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Three-time Grade 1 winner as a novice hurdler, including twice last spring, and he began his chasing career in promising style with two wins this winter; there have since been significant reverses when well beaten at Cheltenham and falling at Aintree, both in Grade 1s over about 3m, but he'd previously suggested a strength in stamina which gives this test some appeal. |

11st 7lb |
Has finished behind Stellar Story at the last two Cheltenham Festivals but was hindered by being pestered up front in latest; otherwise a smart stayer who retains the potential to land a top prize over fences, having been a three-time Grade 1 winner as a novice hurdler, including on this card 12 months ago; remains of major interest. |

Very useful hurdler and last track success came here in 3m beginners chase just over a year ago (yielding) for Gordon Elliott; well held here in 2m6f handicap in November and reported to have bled from the nose when pulled up in 3m2f Cheltenham handicap on New Year's Day, having not jumped well; questions to answer on cross-country debut. |

Runner up in a Grade 2 over hurdles; rock solid form in defeat in first two chases; off the mark in good style on return from 289 days off in a Listowel beginners' in September (2m6f, gd-yld); runner-up Oscars Brother has since franked that form; could yet prove better than his rating of 137; leading chance. |

Lightly raced 6yo; runner-up in a Grade 2 over hurdles and made the frame behind top-notchers Firefox and Dancing City in his first two runs over fences (2m4f/2m7f); wasn't beaten far on either occasion and has very strong claims here. |

Winning hurdler-chaser for Willie Mullins; fine run on his stable debut when fifth in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham; fell over banks at Punchestown; trip and ground are fine and has an each-way chance. |

2nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 90y |
11st 12lb |
Decent performer at his best for Willie Mullins, winning 2m4f Naas beginners' chase last season and ran well for a long way in 4m Scottish National; struggled back hurdling earlier this season before let go for 16,000gns in January; surpassed expectations (125-1) on yard debut in 3m Kim Muir at Cheltenham when beaten under 10l in first-time cheekpieces; can't be ruled out on banks' debut. |

Won 2m4f beginners chase at Naas last March and ran well for a long way in the Scottish National in April (4m) before fading; however, struggled over hurdles on final two runs for Willie Mullins and sold for 16,000gns in January; big revival needed in first-time cheekpieces on stable debut. |

10st 8lb |
Three-time hurdle winner won a novice chase at this meeting last year; third on seasonal return in a Navan handicap hurdle but last two efforts over fences have not been encouraging; back over timber now and new headgear combination needs to revive. |

8th Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 174y |
10st 0lb |
Three hurdle wins and got off the mark over fences at Fairyhouse last April in a novice chase (2m4f, soft to heavy); joint favourite for the Paddy Power at Leopardstown over Christmas when a solid sixth (3m1f, yielding); never looked comfortable in Grade 3 handicap chase last time back at that venue (2m6f, soft); chance if bouncing back despite being 3lb wrong. |

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. |
