Search For Glory
Grade 1 placed as a novice, SEARCH FOR GLORY arrives on the back of a rock-solid second in the Paddy Power Chase at Leopardstown and he gets the vote with Jack Kennedy returning. Harry Des Ongrais looks interesting if building on an encouraging reappearance in the Foxrock, he's one of the least exposed, along with Jordans who was progressive as a novice and shaped well over hurdles last time. Hat-trick seeking Better Times Ahead is another to note in a typically competitive renewal.

Smart chaser who landed Scottish Grand National last season. Promising third in Drinmore at Fairyhouse on return and shaped as if still in form when seventh in Paddy Power chase at Leopardstown, when not ideally placed.

Useful performance to win 2½m maiden chase here last season and back on track when third in listed Foxrock handicap at Navan on return.

Off the mark over fences here last season and confirmed himself a smart chaser when overcoming a less-than-ideal preparation to finish third in 2025 Irish Grand National.

Fourth in this race last year and returned to his best when runner-up in Troytown. Backed that up with solid second back over hurdles at Leopardstown (23.4f) last time.

Progressive hurdler who ended smart novice chase season with a third in Bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown (28.7f). As good as ever when runner-up in a 2m5f handicap at Punchestown on reappearance.

Fairly useful chaser who was doing all his best work late when second of 8 in listed handicap chase at Limerick (19.4f, heavy, 4/1) 25 days ago. Needs to improve on bare form (3 lb out of handicap) but lightly-raced 8-y-o will be better suited by this test.
