Horse Form Profile
| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4th 2 | 11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 | 11st 10lb | Has a good record (213) in the Champion Chase but is by no means certain to sustain it; proved a somewhat fortuitous winner of a weak edition two years ago (on soft ground) when the race fell apart and only three runners completed; far from solid on his form this term, below par in Grade 3 most recently, and returns to Cheltenham as an 11yo who may be on the wane; wears first-time headgear. | 50/1 |
| 3rd 3 | 22nd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y | 11st 1lb | Six-time chase winner, the highlight being the 2024 Champion Chase (2m, soft); not at his best last season but signed off with a solid runner-up finish behind Marine Nationale at Punchestown (2m, yielding); pulled up on seasonal return in the Fortria at Navan (2m, soft to heavy) and tailed off at Leopardstown last time (2m1f, yielding); should be a player here but he's a risky proposition given his form although trainer reported him to be 'really coming to himself' in a recent stable tour. | 15/8 |
| 6th 1 | 27th Dec 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 0y | 11st 12lb | Durable sort with six chase wins; career-best when winning Grade 1 Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham in 2024; not at his best last season but ended campaign with solid efforts behind Marine Nationale at both Cheltenham and Punchestown; pulled up behind Found A Fifty on return at Navan; well beaten in this race last year; veteran likely set to struggle. | 40/1 |
| 6 | 17th Nov 2025 Soft To Heavy 2m 0f 0y | 11st 4lb | Durable sort whose six chase wins include this race in both 2022 and 2023, and career-best when winning Grade 1 Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham in 2024; not at his best last season but ended campaign with solid efforts behind Marine Nationale at both Cheltenham and Punchestown (clear 7l second); pulled up in this race last year (clinically abnormal). | 5/1 |
| 2nd 1 | 29th Apr 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 98y | 11st 12lb | raced in second, challenging 2 out, no chance with winner from last, kept on | 28/1 |
