Excellent third in last season's Grand National; set tough tasks in Grade 1s this season before dropped in class to beat Gerri Colombe in the Bobbyjo at Fairyhouse; unseated at the first when 9-1 for the Grand National; stable's third string now.

Excellent 3l third in last year's renewal, somehow renewing his effort after diving at the final fence cost him plenty of momentum; creditable fifth at Sandown just three weeks later and surging clear from Gerri Colombe at Fairyhouse this February, after another last-fence dive, showed that he's at least as good as ever; 3lb higher than 12 months ago but lots to like.

J: Paul Townend

T: W P Mullins

Excellent third in the Grand National last season, rallying well after a mistake at the last; poor seasonal return in the John Durkan but his 6.25l fourth behind Affordale Fury in the Savills was much better; tailed off in the Irish Gold Cup last time; it's interesting that Townend chooses him and he's well suited by the weightings; however, his best form is on better ground.

Second to Galopin Des Champs here 12 months ago and an excellent third behind Nick Rockett in the Grand National, rallying well after a bad mistake at the final fence; signed off with a creditable fifth when shouldering 12 stone in the bet365Gold Cup; never threatened in the John Durkan; better when fourth in the Savills; lively each-way chance.

Second in the Irish Gold Cup over C&D in February and an excellent third behind Nick Rockett in the Grand National, rallying well after a bad mistake at the final fence; signed off with a creditable fifth when shouldering 12 stone in the bet365Gold Cup; never threatened in the John Durkan, should be closer to peak fitness now.
