Came of age in 2024/25 with valuable handicap chase and hurdle wins around 3m at Leopardstown. However, below that level in light 2025/26 campaign, making no impression when unseating 4 out in the Grand National, and pulled up at Punchestown 23 days ago. Cheekpieces reached for.

Without a win since June 2024, but back over fences and fitted with cheekpieces she was in the process of running creditably when departing 2 out in Grade 2 handicap at Haydock in April. Task is now to build on latest effort.

Fairyhouse maiden winner on second chase start in November 2024 and shaped well on second handicap run in this sphere at the Galway Festival last summer. Ran poorly at Leopardstown when last seen in December but returns with yard going well. Worth another chance.

Has taken well to chasing, winning a Clonmel maiden on second start last season. Made the frame in Grade 1 at Leopardstown next outing and has held his form since, fifth of 22 in listed novice handicap at Punchestown (2½m) 24 days ago. Merits consideration.

Timeform Verdict

NATIVE SPEAKER looked ahead of his mark at the Galway Festival last summer on only his second start in handicap chases, so he's worth forgiving a lesser effort as he returns with his leading yard amongst the winners. Invictus Machin has been shaping up well and heads the list of dangers, with He's Gorgeous and Maxxum also considered.
