Fact To File
FACT TO FILE was imperious when landing the Irish Gold Cup last month and with connections again opting to swerve Friday's blue riband event, Willie Mullins' top-drawer chaser is strongly fancied to go back-to-back in this and add a sixth top-level success to his CV. Banbridge couldn't have gone any closer to defending his King George crown at Kempton on Boxing Day, so he heads up the opposition ahead of Jonbon and Impaire et Passe.

Registered fourth success at the highest level over fences with an impressive display in this 12 months ago. Things didn't go to plan in the King George on Boxing Day but he put that right when landing the Irish Gold Cup at Leopardstown (24.4f, soft) last month and sets a very good standard.DateCourseDistPågårTypePosLeopardstown3m 100ySoftChase1/12Kempton Park3mGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase6/8Punchestown2m 3f 150ySoft to Heavy (Heavy in places)Chase2/10Punchestown2m 98yGood to Yielding (Yielding in places)Chase4/6Cheltenham2m 4f 127yGood to SoftChase1/9- 6JonbonJ: Nico de BoinvilleT: Nicky Henderson12-2211Ålder 104.505.505.00

Has remarkably yet to finish out of the top 2 in twenty-seven career starts under Rules, rallying for a second successive win in the Clarence House at Ascot in January before adding a twelfth Grade 1 to his tally back there last month.

High-class performer over hurdles who posted his best effort over the larger obstacles when running out a good winner of the Grade 1 Manifesto Chase at Aintree last spring. Warmed up for this by taking the Red Mills Chase on return at Gowran last month and he should make his presence felt.DateCourseDistPågårTypePosGowran Park2m 3f 70yHeavyChase1/4Punchestown3m 213yGood to Yielding (Yielding in places)Chasebd/8Aintree2m 3f 200yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase1/9Leopardstown2m 5f 107yYielding (Good to Yielding in places)Chase3/6Limerick2m 3f 100yYielding to Soft (Soft in places)Chase1/7- 1BanbridgeJ: Sean BowenT: Joseph Patrick O'Brien, IrelandU17-442Ålder 108.007.007.50

Classy chaser who returned to form in a first-time visor when failing by a whisker to retain his King George crown at Kempton on Boxing Day. Solid each-way chance on form, but he was well held in this race in 2024 and in the Gold Cup at this meeting last year.DateCourseDistPågårTypePosKempton Park3mGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase2/8Cork2m 200ySoftChase4/5Punchestown3m 213yYieldingChase4/4Cheltenham3m 2f 70yGood to SoftChase7/9Kempton Park3mGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/11- 4Heart WoodJ: D.

Bettered anything he previously achieved when a clear second to Fact To File in this race 12 months ago, albeit he was comprehensively outpointed by the winner. Successful twice in Grade 3s this season but sizeable step forward will be needed if he's to record his first top-flight success.DateCourseDistPågårTypePosTramore2m 6f 170ySoftChase1/7Punchestown2m 3f 150ySoft to Heavy (Heavy in places)Chase4/10Punchestown2m 7f 39yGood to YieldingChase1/6Fairyhouse2m 3f 170ySoft to HeavyChasepu/7Cheltenham2m 4f 127yGood to SoftChase2/9- 7JPR OneJ: Brendan PowellT: Joe Tizzard05-3321Ålder 941.0041.0034.00

Winner of Haldon Gold Cup in 2024 and has worked his way back to that level this season, back on the scoresheet with a ready success in the Scottish Champion Chase at Musselburgh last time. However, he struggled over fences at this meeting both in 2024 and last year.DateCourseDistPågårTypePosMusselburgh2m 4f 68yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase1/8Cheltenham2m 62yGood to SoftChase2/7Ascot2m 172yGood to SoftChase3/10Exeter2m 1f 109yGoodChase3/6Plumpton2m 214yGoodChase5/10- 9MatataJ: J.

Headstrong sort but developed into a very smart chaser last term, winning a brace of 2m handicaps, and registered first success beyond that trip under Rules when landing a valuable C&D contest on New Year's Day. However, he was well held at Windsor next time and looks up against it at this level.DateCourseDistPågårTypePosWindsor2m 6f 50ySoftChase5/5Cheltenham2m 4f 127yGoodChase1/9Kelso2m 1f 14ySoftChase3/9Cheltenham1m 7f 199ySoftChase3/6Cheltenham1m 7f 199yGood to SoftChase7/9- 8Master ChewyJ: Sam Twiston-DaviesT: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies6-24725Ålder 967.0067.0081.00
