J: Danny Gilligan

T: Gordon Elliott

Wide-margin winner of a staying handicap chase at Punchestown 14 months ago, but no real trace of that form since; switches from Willie Mullins to Gordon Elliott to try to improve his fortunes, but others preferred.

J: Brian Hayes

T: W P Mullins

Bumper and hurdle winner won a valuable chase at Punchestown last year over just short of 4m; not as good off higher marks since and unseated there last time; looks the yard's second-string on jockey bookings.

10st 11lb

J: Danny Mullins

T: W P Mullins

Came good over fences in this race last year with 15l win (raised 14lb) on yielding; four runs this term in admittedly hot handicaps have been disappointing, including remote fourth in Leinster National, most recently pulled up after racing prominently for long way in Irish National; handicapper relenting but still 7lb above last year's mark.

J: Danny Mullins

T: W P Mullins

Bumper and hurdles winner came good over fences at the Punchestown festival in a 23-runner extended 3m7f handicap, winning by 15l; took a very hefty 14lb rise for that and never dangerous on seasonal return at Leopardstown at 50-1 (3m1f, yielding); never travelling when pulled up in the Theyestes last time; others preferred.

J: Sean O’Keeffe

T: W P Mullins

Finished third in the 2024 Coral Cup at Cheltenham; failed to make any impact in his first five chase starts; step up in trip brought out major improvement when a 15l winner of Punchestown festival handicap over just short of 4m; hit with a 14lb rise; should be sharper than when reappearing in the Paddy Power.
