Looked really promising two runs back when cruising to victory despite still running green. Last time he really underperformed, but he hated the heavy ground and was looked after when it was obvious he wasn't enjoying things. Back on quick ground and from a stable who won the bumper earlier in the week.

Has form with the best chasers in Ireland. It looks like this is the plan this year: just three runs and no Cheltenham. This guy has been staying on over 3m, and he jumps really well. His form ties in really well with Grangeclare West, who is vying for favoritism, and he gets 7 lb from that rival this afternoon. Drying ground shouldn't be an issue. He can go well at a double-figure price.

If this guy hadn't run at Cheltenham, he'd be half the price for this. You can simply put a line through that run. The start was a farce and he got shuffled back. Cobden gave up, saving him for another day. That day has come. The step up in trip will suit, and he can get his career back on track.

Two 10-year-old previous race winners here. Whilst last year's winner looks to hold a great chance, I'm going to go for 2023's winner. Only 3 lb higher than when winning that day. He's had two tries over the fences since. He unseated at the chair in 2024, then earlier this year he ran a cracker behind Twig in the Becher, not getting home over 3m 2f on soft, off 3 lb higher than today. Down in trip, better ground, 3 lb lighter ??" he'll do for me at a massive price.

Heartwood is favorite on the back of winning the worst Ryanair in living memory, so I have to take him on. This time last year Grey Dawning ran a cracker in the Bowl behind Gaelic Warrior (remember him) when he was outstayed. He ran a good race in the Gold Cup without quite getting up the hill. This drop in trip looks ideal and Skelton picks him over the other stable runner.

I think this guy should be favorite. He ran a cracker in the Browns, coming from behind when nothing was winning off the pace. He had Wendigo cooked that day. He's already beaten Doyen Quest twice. The favorite was only thought good enough to run in a handicap at Cheltenham, and he couldn't win that.

5yo who looks on the upgrade. Ran an extraordinary race at Cheltenham in October. He was out of the back of the telly before flying to finish just 4L behind, and that race has worked out well. Off since, but he always goes well fresh. Claimer takes off a useful 3 lb, and the step up in trip should suit.

You don't have to go too far into this guy's form to find efforts that would see him go close in a race of this nature. He won a Grade 3 less than 12 months ago, beating Blood Destiny by 2 lengths. That horse was second to Energumene last week at Fairyhouse. In November he was third in a Grade 2 behind Found A Fifty and Dino Blue. Now, with Mulholland and a couple of quiet runs, it would be no surprise to see a better effort at a massive price this afternoon.

Every chance he would have beaten The New Lion and BDH at Cheltenham but for a blunder at the last. At 6 yo he should still be improving. Although his best results have come at 2m, he did win over 2m 3f early in his career and shows no obvious reason why he won't stay. Looks overpriced at 8s.

This guy has run 6 times over CD and has won 4. He was beaten a nose. His only poor run at the track was when drawn 11 of 12. His last win came off 81, and today he runs off the same mark, but a good claimer takes off 5 lb, giving an effective mark of 76. A nice low draw in 4 and drying ground should suit. 12/1 at the time of writing. I'll be amazed if he's not single figures come race time.

A course-and-distance winner at the track on this type of ground. Ran a cracker in the Thyestes and has been kept for this, judging by him missing Cheltenham and having a run over hurdles to preserve his chase mark. Walsh rides another JP horse, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see JP go in with one of his others. Torrens has ridden him to victory in the past. Looks a lively outsider at around 20s.

5-year-old who is still unexposed over hurdles. This is his 7th hurdles run this afternoon. He's only been out of the first two once in his career; that was last time. He'd run on the flat 10 days prior to that run, and I wonder if that took its toll. He's been given a nice break since. A repeat of his neck loss to 149-rated Rubaud would give him every chance here at a massive price.

Typical Prescott type, scuttling about in 5K races, edging up in trip with the odd win and then looking outpaced. Then up pops a 25K race and he goes up half a mile in trip with first-time headgear applied. No doubt maximum effort from "the Windmill" incoming. Still only 4yo and with only six runs to date, plenty of improvement likely. Should go well at a fair price.

Was highly tried as a juvenile and has two nice pieces of form here. He was 3rd in a Grade 2 juvenile, beaten less than 10 lengths. First time up this year, after six months off, he finished second to a horse who subsequently was rated 140. Admittedly that horse was receiving weight from 117, but it was still a good effort in the context of this race. Now rated 113 but effectively 106 with the claimer taking off 7 lb. He's still to prove he 100% gets this trip, but on this type of ground he'll have as good a chance as he's likely to get. Could be a player at around 12/1.

This guy has been really consistent since going handicapping 5125543251 when trained by Adam Nicol, then won on debut for David Thompson. All his runs have been on good ground, and the trainer suggested that the ground was on the soft side last time, which explains his poor performance. Back on faster ground today and with stronger handling, he looks the one most likely to pick up the pieces if the top two in the betting falter.

I'm hoping a return to good ground might be the key for this one. Last two wins came on good ground around this time last year off marks of 110 and 117. A claimer takes off 5 lb today, giving him an effective mark of 115. He has still to win over this trip but was a close second first time up this year over it on heavy ground, so he should have no issues on the less taxing ground today. A big price for one that usually goes close when finishing.

Plenty of doubts with the favourite. Gelding and the hood are going to have to work wonders stepping up in trip in a race where there isn't sure to be a strong pace to allow him to settle.

4yo who has already run in three Group races and two Listed races in his short career. Beaten only 6½ lengths in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot. He's spoiled his chances a couple of times by running too freely, so gelding could be a positive. Down to a mark of 94 after being rated in three figures at the start of last season. If the gelding helps him settle, he could be a player at a nice price.

Lightly raced 4yo who was thought good enough to run in the Group 1 Futurity here as a 2yo. He probably found that 1m on soft ground stretched him a little that day. He's had three runs since and has had excuses in all three. Two runs in Meydan since being gelded have produced two solid performances: the first after almost 250 days off, and the second despite being drawn and pushed wide. Both saw him beaten by less than 3L. Running off an effective 93 today puts him in with a cracking chance at a double-figure price.

Got messed about at a crucial time after travelling well when last seen, so wasn't seen to full effect. Still reasonably unexposed, and the drop back to 7f looks a positive. Has been off the track since October, but that shouldn't be an issue. His two previous runs off a significant break resulted in a win and a close third.

Unexposed 6-year-old who showed much more last time on handicap debut when upped to 3m on good ground. That was in December. He's had a nice break since (maybe waiting for better ground). He should still have loads of improvement in him and was staying on over the 3m last time, so this trip should be perfect. The Tizzard stable has seen 3 of his last 6 runners beaten by less than 2 lengths in second, so they are due a change of luck, which could come in the form of this guy at a double-figure price.

The stable could do with a lift after the sad news yesterday, and this superstar can give them that. On paper, this race looks easier than his AW debut when he smashed his rivals. The third horse that day was rated 83, and he beat that by 10L. His main rival today just beat a now 80-rated horse, so he should be at a similar level. This looks a certainty, as the price suggests.

Consistent sort who has twice won over course and distance. Despite her consistency, she is now running off the same mark as her last win. Since that last win she has gone close off slightly higher marks. She looks pretty adaptable in terms of ground, but 2m on soft should suit, as she stays the 2m trip well, which is understandable from a 3m point winner.

Ran well enough on handicap debut, traveling well when a little distracted by a faller two out and lost a little momentum. Stayed on quite well, suggesting this step up in trip could suit.

Won this last year off just 2 lb lower. I'm guessing this has been the target, judged by the way he's been campaigned. Gentle run back after 229 days off, then a run over further than ideal. Last time out he was ridden by a 7 lb claimer. His last run hinted at a return to form, and with the ground drying out all the time, conditions look perfect for a repeat performance with the usual jockey back on board.

8yo with not many miles on the clock. Two runs at the track saw an easy maiden win and he wasn't disgraced in a Grade 2 contest. He has been chasing this season, but his two hurdle runs were pretty decent. He was beaten less than 5L on both occasions off 2 lb higher than today. A PTP winner over 3m, so this trip should be fine. His two wins under rules have come with 'good' in the ground description, so today's underfoot conditions should be ideal.

From a stable that historically do well at this time of year. This one won off 122 just back in January. He's had excuses since (mark, trip, ground) but showed a return to form last time off 2 lb higher. Trip just over 2m should suit, and soft or good-to-soft ground is fine. He ran well here in a bumper early in his career, and while he might be vulnerable to an unexposed type, he sets the standard among the older horses.

Unexposed has just had three runs. It's interesting that this one is upped in trip and wears a hood for the first time on handicap debut. It ran its best race to date last time out at Leopardstown when making most of the running. It was outpaced at a key point and also made a slight mistake but stayed on pretty well. I think the step up in trip will suit. It had a Mullins odds-on shot just in front that day, and the second has come out and run a solid race since. Can go well at a big price with Torrens booked.
