Formscan By Donal Murphy - Sophie Carter got a good tune out of LETS GO CHAMP at Oldtown a fortnight ago, and the pair might be able to follow-up on that success in this long-standing contest. Previously in the care of Henry de Bromhead and the winner of a Grade 3 at the Punchestown festival of 2024, the now 11-year-old clearly retains plenty of ability and should relish the testing conditions. Second and third to a leading Cheltenham contender at Naas last month, Hunters Yarn and Ryehill are the dangers. The Pat Doyle-trained former has won three point-to-points this season and will be ably assisted by Adam Ryan. First time cheekpieces might have the desired effect on the aforementioned Ryehill, while Macs Charm, who was a solid eighth in last year's Thyestes, is the most interesting of the remainder.

Quotes on Cold Old Fire (IRE)
We expected him to be placed, definitely, but obviously the favourite fell and it opened up that way,. We were hoping to finish second so we're delighted with him, as he is a small little horse but is as tough as nails and jumps out of the stable raring to go every morning. Darragh had a treble last Sunday, when he had his 100th point-to-point winner, and rides the odd horse for me.After Cold Old Fire (IRE) finished 1st at Thurles on Thu, 29th Jan 2026 3m Chase Heavy

Quotes on Ryehill (IRE)
Three miles suits him down to the ground but he isn't a natural over his fences. He is hard to watch in a race but gets the job done and must be some good. I'm delighted for Lee, whose parents are all here and is a right lad. . The owners are from Galway except Conor Brett from Cork and got into a syndicate after the horse failed to sell after finishing second in his first run. They're knocking great sport out of him. The plan was to go handicap chasing but we might look for a winners' of one hunters' chase now.After Ryehill (IRE) finished 1st at Cork on Mon, 1st Apr 2024 3m Chase Soft
