Horse Form Profile
| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5th 1 | 2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 7f 68y | 11st 12lb | All three chase wins have been at Fairyhouse, notably the 2024 Irish National; well below best this season however, most recently at same venue in Grade 3 Bobbyjo Chase in February; hard to be confident in and wants softer ground. | 33/1 |
| 6th 8 | 21st Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 2f 0y | 11st 0lb | Best efforts have come at this track with all three chase wins coming here, notably the 2024 Irish National; chased home Nick Rockett in this race last season; performances this season have been disappointing; faded from four out at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft); pulled up in the Welsh National (3m6f, good to soft) and same story in the Theyestes last time; needs to come back to form. | 11/1 |
| 2 | 22nd Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 0y | 11st 11lb | Best efforts at Fairyhouse; all three chase wins there, notably the 2024 Irish National; confirmed liking for that track when chasing home Nick Rockett last February; failed to take to the fences in the Grand National; faded from four out in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury in November; very laboured display in the Welsh National, pulled up at the 15th; up against it now. | 9/1 |
| 1 | 27th Dec 2025 Good To Soft 3m 6f 136y Class 1 | 12st 0lb | Peak efforts at Fairyhouse on soft/heavy, winning the 2024 Irish National over 3m5f; the Grand National at Aintree this April did not work out from early stage, in which going left-handed seemed to play some part and there's still a nagging worry on that score, and about good to soft ground, after the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury last month in which he faded from four out; could still be capable of better but today's conditions may not be ideal. | 33/1 |
| 8th 2 | 29th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 214y Class 1 | 11st 12lb | Has very good form at Fairyhouse, notably a success in the 2024 Irish National and solid second in the 2025 Bobbyjo Chase; returns to a more suitable trip, having found 2m5f inadequate on reappearance, but may not peak until later in the campaign. | 50/1 |
