Formscan By John O'Riordan - Pulled up when sent off favourite for the Mayo National last time, HE'S GORGEOUS can recover losses. Never travelling on that occasion, the Pat Fahy-trained gelding is better judged on his penultimate run when an excellent fifth over course and distance last month. With the forecast rain very much in his favour, the seven-year-old can prove his latest effort to be all wrong. Captain Conby has shaped well enough in two starts after a long absence to suggest that he is capable of adding to his three previous victories. Fairyhouse scorer Me Wee Bonnie Lass should also be noted despite being raised 8lb for that win.

An extended handicap steeplechase for five years old and upwards (140 = 11st 12lbs)
Penalties - Winner of a steeplechase after calculation of the handicap shall carry 7lb extra for each steeplechase won.
Riders - Professional & Claiming Professional Riders who have not ridden more than 15 N.H. winners in the 2025/2026 season (Qualified Riders are excluded from riding in this race).
