Prolific points' winner extended his excellent record around this course when running away with Ladies' Cup over this trip on Tuesday; stiffer task now conceding weight all-round, but in excellent fettle and big shout. |

Overcame two spots of bother when a winning favourite in last season's Bishopscourt Cup here over the regular track; well beaten in two orthodox hunter chases this season; in contrast, has won nine consecutive races in points, including three this term; was relatively immature when beaten by Knockiel Synge in this race in 2024; a leading points rider claims a valuable 7lb. |

Point winner at Loughanmore in April after four consecutive placed efforts; improved on previous racecourse form when runner-up in the confined Bishopscourt Cup at Punchestown; only four finishers, winner Fountain House is much superior to a typical Bishopscourt runner. |

All three hunter chase wins have come at Downpatrick, including a repeat of last year's victory in 3m5f contest just 10 days ago; trainer admits he's a different horse at that track, which renders him opposable here. |

Sprang a 25-1 surprise in this race in 2023, his only success from 67 appearances on the track, placed eight times; moderate fifth here in 2024 and pulled up in last year's edition; should be better for a recent point run, but up against it at the age of 13. |
