Capped his first season over fences with third to Minella Cocooner in bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown (extended 3m4f, good) last April and took his form to another level with two Grade 3 wins on testing ground in Ireland this year; the latest was in a good scrap with Intense Raffles, who's now a whopping 15lb better off; that helps to show that even more improvement is needed. |

Far from a natural jumper but that matters a lot less in this race these days and the turbo has kicked in when he's moved into marathon territory; that resulted first in a last-gasp win in the 2023 Irish National and then a storming success in this race last year, both on soft; hugging the inner seemed to help somewhat with his jumping 12 months ago; 8lb higher this time and forced to miss his final prep race (with an infection) but he was mightily impressive in the closing stages last year. |

Second in the Irish Gold Cup at Leopardstown (3m, yielding) in February and an excellent third in the Grand National at Aintree (4m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago, rallying very gamely after a bad mistake at the final fence; going up another 5lb demands that he reaches even greater heights. |

Very weak in the betting when running moderately over 2m4f on heavy going five weeks ago, a sixth chase run he needed to qualify for this; second in the Irish Gold Cup (3m, yielding) one month earlier was a career best but the handicapper has been able to take that into account today, so this major step up in trip demands another new high. |

Noble Yeats three years ago showed a 7yo can still win the National; this one has spent most of his career at about 2m4f/2m5f and his three appearances over 2m7f-3m1f were defeats but they were among his best efforts (two were Grade 1 novice places here) and contained mouthwatering suggestions of stamina not yet called upon; it is today and there's almost no doubt he remains capable of better. |

Big improver sent chasing by his new yard last season and he then disputed the lead over the final fence in this race, only to end up 16l behind in seventh; needs to see it out a lot better and, after he faded well out of contention on all three starts this term, he nevertheless returns to Aintree with a 1lb higher mark than last year. |

Delivered late to win this race on good ground last year by a neck, 26 days after his third in a heavy-ground Irish National; he shaped as if back to his best in the Grand National three weeks ago, travelling well to dispute the lead two out but ending up seventh as the 4m2f took its toll; this trip is presumably the ideal fit and, although 4lb higher than last year, a big run should be forthcoming if Aintree has not taken it out of him. |

11yo who ended a long losing run when beating stablemate Classic Getaway by 6l in Grade 2 at Thurles in January (2m5f, good); brought down ten fences out in the Grand National three weeks ago; it's possible he might run into a place but a few of the others have stronger claims. |

Rarely seen over even 3m, though has run respectably at it; back near his best when a strong finish over nearly 2m5f secured him a Grade 2 win by 6l at Thurles (good) in January on latest start, for his first success in two years, but that has put him back up the weights. |

Not proven beyond 3m2f; contested Grade 1s at this meeting for the last three years, twice finishing runner-up, and he was third in the 2023 Cheltenham Gold Cup; this season's results, contrastingly, look pretty grim but he did lead turning for home in a Cheltenham handicap last month (finished eighth) which showed that something is still smouldering. |

Cross-country chasing could hardly have gone better, which augurs well, as does his markedly improved form over 3m5f in the Cheltenham version on last two outings; spending the last third of it off the bridle at the Festival last month (with first-time cheekpieces; last season's blinkers now return) is a niggling worry, and slogging it out was a taxing as well as serious achievement, but he finished well on top and can race off the same mark today; on the shortlist. |

Very useful handicapper over regulation fences and 3-4 since switched to cross-country chasing, winning twice over about 3m on the banks course at Punchestown before keeping on strongly to beat Mister Coffey and others in this field quite cosily over C&D (soft; also suited by good) in December; 8lb higher now but the cheekpieces are an interesting addition today and he commands respect. |

It's impossible to ignore that he's won only once (November 2022) in the last four years; minor honours include second in last three renewals of the Grade 2 Denman Chase at Newbury (2m7f) in February, which made it three creditable seconds from his three starts this term, but it would be bold to predict that this first go beyond 3m will take him back to the winner's enclosure. |

His three handicap wins have all been in large fields; two were over hurdles, including latest start, and he also worked his way from well off the pace to surge 7l clear in the valuable Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown (good to yielding) over Christmas; looks sure to stay further than that extended 3m but this first attempt is over a lot further; not the most fluent jumper and needs to improve again but he comes here on a high. |

5th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 4lb |
11yo whose three peak ratings were recorded over an extended 2m4f in the mud at Cheltenham, notably his Plate win at the 2024 Festival (2lb higher today); flew over these fences in the Topham next time but cracked badly in the closing stages and he's not really got going this season, 14th back in the Plate last time; lots of doubts. |

5th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Runs off the same mark as for his Cheltenham Festival win last year (2m4f, soft) and he was a creditable fourth of 15 in this race in 2023 (good to soft); however, he was outstayed on that occasion and this 11yo has finished down the field on both outings this year. |

5th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |
10st 4lb |
Bold show when seventh in this race in 2023 but he did not take to it so well when ninth last year; impressive in a French cross-country race in September but has not shone since, particularly back in France last Saturday, and he lacked any finishing punch when seventh in the Cheltenham cross-country; 13yo but the handicapper is showing very few concessions for his age. |

12th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 5f 56y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Irish-trained 13yo who performed pretty well in last two Grand Nationals and has two French cross-country chase wins on his CV, the latter in Listed race at Craon (3m6f, very soft) in September; fell on his only C&D start and would appeal more on soft/heavy ground but still considered each-way. |

Two chase wins last season came in Graded novices at Punchestown and Limerick on testing ground; solid form in competitive handicaps this term, notably third in both Thyestes at Gowran and 3m3f National Trial at Punchestown; took advantage of drop in class when landing a three-runner Down Royal conditions event five weeks ago; first-time blinkers. |

12st 0lb |
Smart mare who ended 2023-24 season in career-best form, winning Sandown Grade 2 (2m6f, good); not much went to plan last term but she was going well until bad jumping error knocked the stuffing out of her in last month's Topham over the big fences here and she remains well handicapped. |

Pulled up in the 3m2f Kim Muir at Cheltenham last month in first-time cheekpieces, which leaves her stamina beyond 3m unproven, although it was not the trip which accounted for her poor show there (following two solid efforts); second over these fences in the 2023 Topham, sixth in it last year and she's due to have another crack at that race on Friday. |
