Al Boum Photo 1st January 2020 - Tramore - It was interesting to hear Ruby Walsh suggest that he has won this race more impressively than he did in 2019 when he was on board. He jumped these smaller fences well and never looked...

Fury Road 1st February 2020 - Leopardstown - He plodded on for fourth and was closing a little from the last to the line. The Cheltenham hill takes a lot of getting in the Albert Bartlett and this proven stayer has done little to...

A Wave Of The Sea 2nd February 2020 - Leopardstown - He raced towards the rear for much of this race. His connections have stated before that he will be best coming off a true run race. Aspire Tower was three seconds slower than...

Bacardys 28th December 2019 - Leopardstown - He had beaten the winner twice before but had been ridden closer to the pace on both occasions. He was never placed to challenge here. 1st December 2019 - Fairyhouse - He was raised 5lbs for beating...

A Plus Tard 27th December 2019 - Leopardstown - His time comparisons with Melon show him in a good light. He was around eight seconds quicker from the first fence to the sixth last and then ran a similar time from there to the...

Bapaume 1st February 2020 - Leopardstown - He made some promising headway before four out; however he soon went backwards after a mistake at the next fence. He has performed better than his finishing position would imply. 2nd May 2019 - Punchestown - Not...

Altior 8th February 2020 - Newbury - He hit his usual flat spot and was going less well than the eventual runner up in between the final two fences. Once he had jumped the last he very quickly put two to three lengths between...

Easywork 2nd February 2020 - Leopardstown - He finished in front of Mt Leinster as he had done previously at Gowran Park in late November. This adds some substance to the reliability of the form. Envoi Allen 5th January 2020 - Naas - He...

Ballyandy 18th January 2020 - Haydock - He has won here despite the course being too sharp for him. I think we can say the same about Kempton last time out which perhaps points to Epatante and Silver Streak being better than the beaten...
