2024 Brown Advisory winner, 2025 Ryanair winner; won the 2024 John Durkan at this venue, had a hard race when narrowly beaten by Gaelic Warrior in this season's repeat bid; failed to do himself justice in the King George; back to best when readily beating Gaelic Warrior and Galopin Des Champs in the Irish Gold Cup; fascinating rematch now after bypassing Ryanair.

Four Grade 1 wins, including the 2024 Brown Advisory, and last season's Ryanair; narrowly denied by Gaelic Warrior in the John Durkan Memorial Chase; raced keenly and never looked like imposing his presence in the King George; three-time course winner, just lost second to Grangeclare West here 12 months ago; capable of matching that effort if on back on song.

Four-time Grade 1 winner, including at the last two Cheltenham Festivals, namely in the Brown Advisory Novices' Chase (3m, soft) and the Ryanair Chase (2m4f, good to soft); returned from a break with a neck second to Gaelic Warrior in the John Durkan Memorial Chase (2m3f, soft to heavy) last month; there's a suspicion a shorter trip is optimal but he ran two big races in 3m Grade 1s at Leopardstown last winter and is a leading candidate today.

Won the 2024 Brown Advisory at Cheltenham; began last season with victory in this race at the main expense of Spillane's Tower; twice placed behind stablemate Galopin Des Champs over 3m at Leopardstown before dropped in trip to win the Ryanair in brilliant style; found 2m too sharp here at the festival, returned with a cut; leading contender for race's dominant trainer.
