Has a compelling profile, having gone close on debut at the 2025 Irish Grand National meeting (soft to heavy) before making a winning start for Willie Mullins back at Fairyhouse (heavy) in February; has to prove his effectiveness on less testing ground, but he looks a smart prospect and this owner/trainer combination were successful in this event 12 months ago.

Steady improvement with each of his three runs, beaten off only late on when second at Chepstow (soft) on debut for this yard last month; may have more in the tank but he's still a maiden and this is his sternest assignment to date; fitted with a tongue-strap for the first time.

Assembling an impressive CV in bumpers, following all-the-way wins at Newbury (good to soft) and Ascot (soft) with an excellent third at the Cheltenham Festival (good) where he stuck to his task gamely after being headed over 1f out; that's the best form on offer and he's the one to beat.

Not an instant success in Irish points but 2-2 in bumpers despite free-going tendencies evident in both; made all at Newbury (good to soft) and repeated the trick at Ascot (soft) where he was in splendid isolation for large parts of the race before predictably tiring late on; that form has taken a battering but he was much the best of that field; should similar tactics be employed, it may help that this race is often slowly run; highly regarded and much respected.
