Place / No / Draw	Date / Going / Distance / Class	Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer	Verdict	Starting price
2nd 7	11th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 100y	18:37 Killarney Three Card Brag 11st 0lb J: Sam Ewing T: Gordon Elliott	Shares the highest official mark with Gentleman De Mee but he's a strong stayer who hasn't raced over this short a trip since 2023; finished ninth in the Grand National last time.	15/2
9th 15	11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1	16:00 Aintree Three Card Brag 11st 0lb J: Jordan Gainford T: Gordon Elliott	Career-best form in the autumn this season, including a win at Cheltenham (3m1f) and second to Panic Attack in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury (3m2f); flopped when favourite in the Grade 3 won by Grangeclare West at Fairyhouse in February, admittedly after 12 weeks off but there's the additional worry of last year's Grand National in which he was 16-1 and raced very prominently but faded steadily from three out.	50/1
7th 10	21st Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 2f 0y	15:15 Fairyhouse Three Card Brag 11st 0lb J: Jack Kennedy T: Gordon Elliott	Has performed well in big field 3m+ chases this season; finished second to Spanish Harlem in the Kerry National at Listowel (3m, yielding) then went one better at Cheltenham (3m1f, good); posted another good performance when runner-up in the Coral Gold Cuo at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft) when last seen; ground is fine for him; player.	3/1F
2nd 3	29th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 214y Class 1	14:55 Newbury Three Card Brag 11st 10lb J: Jordan Gainford T: Gordon Elliott	Well equipped for this assignment having performed well in big fields this autumn, finishing second to Spanish Harlem in the Kerry National at Listowel (3m, yielding) then going one better at Cheltenham (3m1f, good); now on a tougher mark but he's better than ever.	25/1
1st 2	25th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 2	14:20 Cheltenham Three Card Brag 11st 13lb J: Jack Kennedy T: Gordon Elliott	Fourth in the 2023 Albert Bartlett on previous visit to Cheltenham; now renowned as a useful staying chaser who ran well for a long way in last season's Grand National; only eighth in the Galway Plate but right up there with his best form when second in the 3m Kerry National a month ago (yielding; form franked since); would prefer slower ground ideally but should have a part to play.	6/1
