Horse Form Profile
| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3rd 6 | 25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 99y Class 1 | 11st 10lb | Smart front-runner whose Grade 1 form features three wins at Leopardstown (2m1f) in 2024/2025 and neck second, showing career-best form, at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft) on latest start; one of the main contenders back down in distance. | 5/4F |
| 2nd 7 | 10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 200y Class 1 | 11st 10lb | Tailed off at Leopardstown in February when the soft ground was against him and a visor replaced his usual cheekpieces, which return today; prior to that he posted a third Grade 1 win at Leopardstown (2m1f, yielding) in December; there's a question mark regarding the step back up in trip for this front-runner but his trainer won this twice in a row with Fakir d'Oudairies in 2021 and 2022, and this 8yo arrives fresh after just two starts this winter; chance. | 8/1 |
| 5th 6 | 1st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 1f 0y | 11st 12lb | Made huge progress last season, emerging from handicaps to win two Grade 1s over C&D including this race, beating Marine Nationale; wasn't as good at Cheltenham and Punchestown after but returned to again get the better of his old rival back over C&D last time; is at his best around this track, but the testing ground isn't in his favour; visor replaces cheekpieces. | 5/1 |
| 1st 6 | 27th Dec 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 0y | 11st 12lb | Vastly improved under forcing tactics to land pair of Grade 1s over C&D last season, including when seeing off Gaelic Warrior and Marine Nationale in this corresponding race; no match for Marine Nationale at both Cheltenham and Punchestown, not fluent at times on latter occasion; however, goes well fresh and won't hang around on the front end, so could exploit any race-rustiness or jumping flaws from market leaders. | 8/1 |
