11st 9lb |
Won this race last year off a mark of 144; well-held second over hurdles at Clonmel last December before being given a break; returned with a hurdles run at Galway; pulled up in the Kerry National; one of four runners for Eric McNamara who also won this in 2024; only 2lb higher than 12 months ago, very capable 7lb-claiming amateur on board. |

Third in last year's renewal before winning the Munster National at Limerick off a mark of 144 last October; well-held second over hurdles at Clonmel last December before being given a break; should be sharper now as a result of a recent hurdles start at Galway; one of four runners for Eric McNamara who won this race three times between 2007 and 2012. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
No ground worries; best winning day in the 2024 Grand National Trial at Haydock and he's been placed in last two editions of the Troytown in November; those were over fences but he has a much lower hurdles mark and was a close second to Duke Silver in the Leopardstown qualifier; good chance he'll be outspeeded in this but dangerous if he turns for home in contention. |

22nd Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 0y |
11st 3lb |
Won the 2024 Grand National Trial at Haydock; fine effort in third behind Stuzzikini in the 2024 Troytown and went one place better behind Answer To Kayf in this season's edition; 143-rated chaser could finish only second from a mark of 118 in a handicap hurdle at Christmas; however, the run kept him ticking over, and he could be a big player. |

Made all to win 2m4f Wexford novice chase early last season; uneven form since then, best effort when a 2 3/4l runner-up to Ol Man Dingle in a Cork Grade 3 novice last November; second of four runners in a Limerick Grade 3 novice in April; has struggled in big-field handicaps and was 100-1 when pulled up in the Galway Plate. |

One of eight for trainer; made all to win 2m4f Wexford novice chase last summer but hit and miss since, best effort when a 2.75l runner-up behind Ol Man Dingle in a Cork Grade 3 novice in November; bounced back from two poor runs in big-field handicaps when second of four runners in a Limerick Grade 3 novice last time; big fields may not be his thing. |

Last season's novice chase campaign was cut short after two failures to complete; returned in good shape to win at Tipperary and backed that up with a second placing behind Aspurofthemoment at Galway; pulled up in Kerry National, Paul Townend aboard now; stamina doubt remains. |

Last season's novice chase campaign was cut short after two failures to complete; returned in good shape to win at Tipperary and backed that up with a second placing at Galway; those races were over shorter distances; a question mark about her ability to stay effectively. |

Seventh in 2024's Fred Winter and encouraging start to her chase career last season including a Grade 2 success at Thurles; has failed to complete having made errors twice since including early unseat at Limerick on Monday; will be a big player despite conceding weight if she sorts her jumping out. |

Three-time chase winner, including at Killarney in May (3m2f, good to yielding) is 0-6 over hurdles so has a 24lb lower mark in this discipline; hasn't contested a hurdle race since 2024 and never for this yard so he looks like a huge danger to all off this mark but this trip looks tight for him. |
