Race Tip

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 before a pair of 3m placings at the top level and an impressive 8L victory in last month's 3m2f G1 Cheltenham Gold Cup Chase. Top selection. 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 86 days ago. Main danger. 2025 Cheltenham Gold Cup hero INOTHEWAYURTHINKIN (5) placed 10L third in this year's renewal. Could easily go close if showing best form. GRANGECLARE WEST (4) unseated the rider at the first fence in the Aintree Grand National (Premier Handicap) eighteen days ago. Next best.
