    Race Analysis

    Six-time Grade 1 winner GAELIC WARRIOR (3) looks hard to beat having enjoyed an excellent season with a neck success in the 2m4f G1 John Durkan Memorial Punchestown Chase preceding a pair of 3m placings at the top level and an impressive 8L victory in the 3m2f G1 Cheltenham Gold Cup Chase. Consider. FACT TO FILE (2) is a two-time G1 Cheltenham Festival winner who scored by 5L beating the top pick in the 3m1/2f G1 Irish Gold Cup at Leopardstown. Main danger. The 2025 Cheltenham Gold Cup hero INOTHEWAYURTHINKIN (5) placed 10L third in the renewal this year. Could easily go close if showing best form. GRANGECLARE WEST (4) unseated the rider at the first fence tackling the Aintree Grand National (Premier Handicap) eighteen days ago. Next best.
