Tomorrow, Chase3m1f

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.

    Returned to his best with back-to-back success at Fairyhouse, looking well suited by the extreme trip when scoring by neck from Will Do in the Porterstown (3m6f) latest, doing well have met trouble in running. Forecast rainfall in his favour and has to be respected in bid for hat-trick.

    Verdict
    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. Should go well back up in distance but Paul Townend prefers Captain Cody.

    Verdict
    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. Disappointed when pulled up in the Troytown on reappearance but he's in excellent hands and has been freshened up for this.

    Verdict
    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. Should give a good account, for all his yard are enduring a lean spell in terms of winners.

    Useful performance to win 2½m maiden chase here last season and back on track when third in listed Foxrock handicap at Navan on return. Lightly-raced 9-y-o is one of the least exposed in the field and should be capable of better for excellent yard.

    Back on track in emphatic style when winning 23-runner handicap chase at Punchestown (31.3f, good to soft) last May but didn't jump fluently when eleventh in 28-runner Paddy Power chase on reappearance. Entitled to take a step forward if he can jump better here.

    Travelled strongly before effort flattened out when fourth in 2½m Paddy Power Gold Gup at Cheltenham in November and held every chance when falling 2 out in listed handicap at Limerick. Interesting profile but remains to be seen if he if gets home over this markedly longer trip (hood refitted).

    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. RESERVE.
