11st 11lb |
Has run well a couple of times this season but hasn't won under Rules' since October 2021; tailed off at Uttoxeter and pulled up in the Ulster National latest; needs to revive. |

29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 4f 120y |
10st 6lb |
Point-to-winner last season before going hunter chasing; no success on the track since 2021; has shown fair form over hurdles this season; 1-23 record over fences is a negative. |

Irish veteran who is in reasonably good form, placed at Naas (2m7f) most recently, but hasn't won under rules since 2021 and can be opposed in this competitive affair. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 160y |
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. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
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. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
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. |

Looked a smart prospect when beating Its On The Line at Down Royal in December 2024; disappointing overall since then, except for an 18l Fairyhouse win last year; 66-1 at Punchestown festival, still prominent when exiting a mile out; well held in a point a week later. |

5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 180y |
12st 0lb |
Looked capable of becoming a major force in this category when beating top hunter chaser Its On The Line at Down Royal's Christmas fixture in 2024; disappointing overall since then, except for an 18l win in this race last April; pulled up in two of his three hunter chase outings this ter and unseated rider on only point appearance; risky. |

Two chase wins to his name, gained back-to-back on winter ground in 2022; won a point on good-to-yielding in May; undistinguished hurdles form, including last time out in a claimer at Roscommon. |

12st 0lb |
A three-time hunter chase winner for Willie Mullins but it was a forgettable first run back with that yard when tailed off at Gowran a month ago; cheekpieces are now added and returning here might float his boat as he was third in both the 2022 Topham and this race 12 months ago. |

3rd Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 3m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Won the 3m4f Cork National in November and a good third over 3m6f at Fairyhouse since; below form in a Naas Grade 3 novice last time; just three hurdle runs, the last was in November 2021 but handles this ground so not ruled out. |

Seasoned chaser got off the mark at the ninth attempt when making all in 3m4f Cork National in November (good-to-yielding); solid third off 9lb higher in 3m6f Porterstown Handicap at Fairyhouse later in month (winner just edged out in Thursday's Thyestes Chase); upped in grade here so career-best required, but could go well. |

Has been running well in points, though was grossly flattered by his close proximity to Wonderwall in November; he's only 1-8 over regulation fences and doesn't look up to this at the age of 12. |
