|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st 3 | 29th Apr 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 213y | 11st 10lb | Confirmed his staying power with Bowl win at Aintree last year; got his campaign off to a fine start with John Durkan victory from Fact To File over 2m4f here; third in a blanket finish in the King George before 5l second to a restored Fact To File at Leopardstown; travelled powerfully for stunningly impressive Gold Cup triumph to leap-frog Fact To File in the ratings. | 5/6F |
| 1st 3 | 13th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 1 | 11st 10lb | Won the Arkle here (2m, soft) in March 2024 and relished the step up to 3m1f in the Grade 1 Bowl at Aintree (good to soft) last April; that win has been the catalyst for a string of excellent efforts, including his third in a blanket finish in the King George (3m, good to soft) in December and his 5l second in the Irish Gold Cup (3m, soft) last month; can be difficult to settle which is something of a concern in view of today's stiff stamina test, but on the flip side he's been finishing his races strongly; respected. | 11/4J |
| 2nd 5 | 2nd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 100y | 11st 10lb | Won the Arkle at Cheltenham in 2024; kept at shorter distances until impressive in the Grade 1 Bowl at Aintree (3m1f, good to soft) last April; ended the campaign with a fine Sandown win and began again in style, edging out Fact To File in the John Durkan; third in a thrilling King George; will need to settle better to maximise his chance at this track. | 4/1 |
| 3rd 4 | 26th Dec 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 1 | 11st 10lb | Won the 2024 Arkle over 2m and this 7yo was very well suited by the step up in trip when impressive in the Grade 1 Bowl at Aintree (3m1f, good to soft) in April; 2-2 since (2m6f/2m3f, good/soft to heavy), last time by a neck from Fact To File at Punchestown; there's lots to like. | 9/4J |
| 1st 3 | 23rd Nov 2025 Soft To Heavy 2m 3f 150y | 11st 12lb | Won the 2024 Arkle; suffered two defeats over 2m1f at Leopardstown last season before finding his vocation when upped in trip; captured the Grade 1 Bowl at Aintree (3m1f, good to soft) and backed that up with another impressive display over an extended 2m6f at Sandown; good chance if continuing where he left off. | 13/8 |
