Thrice-raced winner under Rules. Won 18-runner maiden hurdle (1/7) at Cork (24f, good to soft) when last seen 6 months ago. This former point winner is of strong interest on chase debut.
|
Untrustworthy individual. Latest win in hurdle at Sligo in October 2024. Very good fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (24.1f, good to soft, 5/1). Off 11 months and will need to improve for the switch to fences if he's to have a say in the finish.
|
Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 15 in novice hurdle at Down Royal (16.9f, good, 85/40). Off 7 months. Significantly up in trip for this chase debut. Kamikaz Du Plessis is presumably the stable No 1.
|
Fairly useful hurdler. 5/6 and tongue strap on for 1st time, third of 4 in novice chase at Fairyhouse (21.2f, good) on debut over fences 15 days ago. Clearly possesses ability, but may also have a quirk or two (tendency to hang is particularly concerning).
|
Useful chaser. 12/1, bit below form eleventh of 19 in handicap chase at Sandown (28.7f, good to firm). Off 6 months and now drops in trip with a tongue strap on 1st time. Paul Townend's pick of the Mullins-trained trio and he's the one to beat.
|
Promising individual. Useful winner at 24f over hurdles. 13/8, good second of 8 in minor event chase at Listowel (22f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Should have more to offer in this sphere.
|
Fairly useful chaser. Latest win in hurdle at Hexham in March. Third of 6 in maiden chase (12/1) at this course (18.2f, soft) on debut over fences 19 days ago. Back up in trip. Seemingly the least fancied of the three Mullins-trained contenders.
|
Lightly-raced maiden under Rules. 400/1, respectable sixth of 11 in minor event chase at Gowran (20f, soft) 22 days ago.
|
Once-raced maiden. 6/1, eighth of 10 in novice hurdle at Limerick (21.3f, good to soft) on NH debut 6 months ago. Makes chase debut.
|
Useful hurdler. 20/1, creditable eighth of 23 in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23.5f, good to soft) 178 days ago, faring best of those held up. Makes chase debut.
|
Useful hurdler. Pulled up in novice chase at Sligo (17.6f, good to soft, 33/1) on debut over fences 25 days ago, bad mistake 4 out. Would be a danger to all if reproducing pick of his hurdles form, but will need to leave that Sligo run well behind if he's to make an impact.

Oscars Brother (13/8), O'Moore Park (3/1), Good N' Kind (3/1), My Great Mate (7/2), Win Some Lose Some (10/1), Road To Home (14/1), Kamikaz Du Plessis (14/1), Great Universe (25/1), Hello Jack (33/1), Zeeband (66/1), Thetownilovedsowel (150/1), Sense The Tension (300/1)
It could be a case of third time lucky over fences for OSCARS BROTHER, who has found just one too good in decent maiden chases at Tipperary and Listowel. Good N' Kind showed plenty in a bumper/two starts over hurdles, but this point winner appeals as the type to make a better chaser and is feared most ahead off the Willie Mullins-trained candidates O'Moore Park, My Great Mate and Road To Home (in that order of preference).
