Winning hurdler is 0-5 over fences but has run well in defeat at times; fine second behind subsequent Ayr premier handicap winner Moudan at Navan on penultimate (2m1f, sft-hvy); 20.5f may have stretched at Kilbeggan latest; drops back in trip now but would ideally prefer softer ground.
Comment
Fine Navan second on penultimate franked, trip too far latest, would prefer softer ground

1-9 over hurdles; promise in both chase starts; 8.5l second in Killarney beginners' (2m1f, gd-yld) and when 5l behind Birdie Or Bust in a novice at Listowel (17.5f, gd-yld) last September; worse off at weights with that rival and not seen since but can't discount on handicap chase debut in new headgear combination.

H'cap chase debutant, promise in both chase starts, new headgear, can't discount

2-12 over hurdles and rated 8lb higher in that sphere; hasn't looked like exploiting lower chase mark in recent starts; valid excuse at Tramore latest (mistake at third, pulled up after stirrup broke); capable of better than that and can't discount, especially if the rain misses.
Comment
Rated 8lb higher over hurdles, excuse when pulled up at Tramore, can't discount
Stable Tour
"He had more letters than numbers in his point-to-point form but he's a grand horse. He won at Ballingarry in May and then made a winning start for us in a maiden hurdle at Clonmel last week when the front two pulled 17 lengths clear. I'm not sure where we go from here but he's qualified for the auction final at Punchestown. I suppose a rated novice could be next for him. 12-11-24"

Quotes
"I was kind of happy enough that they had gone a good gallop early on and I was happy enough to give them a little bit of rope heading down the back straight to get a little breather in and I finished off well because of that. Stuntman Steve's form is consistent, I had only ridden him once beforehand but it was over a longer trip and he rides like he wants a little bit further but then I don't know if he stays it so he is a little bit in between. A strongly run race probably suits him - Sean Flanagan, jockey."
2025-06-02 - Listowel"The final hurdle was the winning of the race for Stuntman Steve and thankfully he came up for me. We have him six weeks and while he hadn't been away, we thought he was a nice horse so thought he'd go close - Keith Donoghue, jockey."

2-11 over fences; rated 13lb higher over hurdles; ran well when second in Grade 3 novice here in October (War Correspondent third); has disappointed at Fairyhouse and when pulled up over C&D since returning from a break; needs to leave those efforts behind.
Comment
Rated 13lb higher over hurdles, poor efforts last twice, on nice mark but revival needed
Stable Tour
"She's been busy enough and could be due a break after having a good summer. We entered her for a handicap chase at Ascot in a couple of weeks, so she could go there, but we'll see. She likes good ground. 11-11-25"
Quotes
"We got a bit of luck there, but we're delighted with Birdie Or Bust. She definitely wasn't herself at Down Royal last time, but she looked back to herself there with the way she jumped and travelled. She has plenty of options so we'll wait and see what we do with her, but she's a lovely mare and I'm delighted to see her come back to herself - Henry De Bromhead, trainer."
2023-12-17 - Thurles"Birdie Or Bust did it really well and on her previous runs she was entitled to do it. It was a really nice performances and she didn't have to kick into her reserves - Rachael Blackmore, rider"

Not the easiest to win with but often runs well in defeat; beaten 7.75l off 3lb higher on his last start in this sphere at Wexford on penultimate; 9l fourth in claiming hurdle back there on latest; best chase effort came when a 6l third in a Grade 3 novice here (18.5f, gd-yld) in October (Birdie Or Bust second); big chance on that form and has won here over hurdles.
Comment
Fine third in Grade 3 novice chase here in October, big chance if replicates that form
Quotes
"Obviously on ratings and on his previous hurdles form, War Correspondent had a lot to find but he was always a horse with a lot of ability and if the fences sparked him up at all, we were hopeful of a good run and it did. He jumped brilliantly for a horse having his first run over fences and he really enjoyed himself - Paddy Cody, jockey."

Course winner over hurdles on testing ground; 1-6 over fences, the win coming on heavy ground at Tramore; not a bad effort back there on latest (15.5f, good) when a 14.5l fourth of 14 and eased 2lb; could go well if the forecast rain materialises.
Comment
Course winner over hurdles, best form on testing ground, could go well if rain arrives
Quotes
"He gave him a lovely ride, he's a weak finisher and I said ride Be Fierce to come home. The short run-in helped, he winged the last and just held on. He's won twice at Tramore and we'll look there later in the year - Ted Walsh, trainer. speaking to Racing TV"

Back from a long spell in the doldrums with improved efforts in hot handicap chases at Aintree (2m5f, gd-sft) and over C&D (yielding) the last twice; big chance now dropped in grade with talented claimer taking off a handy 7lb.

Has won over hurdles but is 0-9 over fences; ground given as possible excuse for 45l defeat at Ballinrobe (2m1f, good) on return from 295-day break on latest; forecast rain a plus and has run respectably here before but others hold more pressing claims.

2-30 over fences, both wins coming at Kilbeggan; is 5lb below his latest win but he's been out of sorts for a while and not an ideal preparation for this when falling at the fifth fence at Kilbeggan just six days ago; fourth in this last year but others make more appeal.
Comment
Both chase wins at Kilbeggan, out of form, fell six days ago, others appeal more
Quotes
"It's always a pleasure to ride John (Ryan)'s horses, they jump like bucks and are so straightforward you just jump and let them roll. I was able to get a breather into Gaelic Arc down the back straight and was confident turning in. He found enough when the second came to me - Harry Sexton, jockey, speaking to Racing TV"
2025-06-16 - Kilbeggan"Gaelic Arc is a funny horse, difficult to train, and a horse you wouldn't have a punt on. He's going to be a lovely horse over a fence. The ground today probably suited him and was the key today. Niall Prendergast gave him a cracking ride and he'll go over fences now - John Ryan, trainer."
2022-05-02 - Down Royal"Gaelic Arc is a gorgeous horse. He goes on soft ground so we'll probably go for a winners bumper - John Ryan, trainer"
