had clearly come on for his comeback run and landed the big prize he'd been promising to for a while, displaying both class and determination as he wore down the runner-up in the straight, turning in the sort of performance rarely seen in a handicap; raced wide, chased leaders, jumped right at times, travelled well, shuffled back ninth, took closer order again 5 out, third 3 out, stayed on to lead approaching last, ridden out; connections mentioned both the Grand National and the Irish National as potential targets, while he'll also be well worth his place in a good conditions event judged on this showing.

The 2025 running of one of the longest-standing and most-prized handicaps in the Irish National Hunt calendar saw Nick Rockett turn in one of the best performances in the race in the last quarter of a century to give his trainer a record tenth success in it; in keeping with recent editions, those held up largely struggled to make an impact, the shambolic nature of the start impacting several runners, notably the fancied pair Yeah Man and Will Do.
