Two-time chase winner for Noel Meade but tailed off in the Galway Plate in August 2023 on final run for that yard; sold for 15,000 that September and absent since; this 10yo may be best watched on stable debut.
Won handicap hurdle at the 2023 Cheltenham Festival (2m4f, soft) and last season's injury-affected novice chase campaign concluded with Grade 1 second at Aintree (3m1f, soft); has won on good ground; the Grand National is his aim but he's a leading contender if close to his best on this reappearance.
Grade 1 novice hurdle winner who also showed plenty of promise over fences last season, finishing second in the Grade 2 Pendil Novices' Chase at Kempton (2m4f, soft) in February when last seen; won here over hurdles and could have more to offer now going back left-handed; has won on good to soft under rules and on good ground in a point; trainer has excellent record in race.
All nine starts on soft/heavy ground; 3-4 over hurdles and even better over fences last season, finishing second of four in 2m3f Grade 2 novice at Wetherby in January; the forecast rain is in his favour and he's respected.
British point winner who scored at Exeter (2m5f, good to soft) last November on second hurdle start and followed up in Grade 2 novice at Sandown (2m4f, heavy) in December; off since and thrown in at the deep end on today's chase debut, but he's from a top yard and has bundles of potential.
Bolted up in Grade 2 novice hurdle here (3m, heavy) in February 2022; built for fences and he's in with a big shout on this chase debut if he retains all of his promise; yard is in good form but he's been off since the 2022 Cheltenham Festival (pulled up) and it's a mammoth absence to defy.
