|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2nd 5 | 28th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 98y | 11st 12lb | The 2025 Champion Chaser arrives here a fresher horse than most after missing Cheltenham with a sore neck; returned to action at Leopardstown in December with a pleasing effort behind Solness after making an early mistake; no match for Majborough at the DRF on testing ground but he's a much better horse on a sounder surface; won this in fine style last year and could repeat the dose. | 11/4 |
| 2nd 4 | 1st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 1f 0y | 11st 12lb | Top-class novice hurdler had an interrupted novice chase season but came good last term, finishing runner-up to Solness in this race before winning the Champion Chase at Cheltenham; he then followed up at Punchestown in style; did well to recover from an error on comeback over C&D last time, just losing out to Solness again; this testing ground is a question, but is the one to beat if handling it. | 5/4F |
| 2nd 5 | 27th Dec 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 0y | 11st 12lb | Reigning champion 2m chaser progressed well last season, culminating in wide-margin (left clear last) win in Champion Chase at Cheltenham and beat Captain Guinness 6l in four-finisher Grade 1 Champion Chase at Punchestown, clearing away from the last in good style; begins this season as the one to beat but it's worth bearing in mind he was well below his best on last season's return and finished 4.5l third behind Solness in this contest. | 2/1 |
| 1st 4 | 29th Apr 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 98y | 11st 12lb | towards rear but in touch with leaders, smooth headway when bit short of room 3 out, challenging after 2 out, led going best approaching last, pushed out and went clear run-in, comfortably | 2/1 |
