Impaire Et Passe camp targeting spring campaign

By Racing TV

Last Updated: Thu 5 Feb 2026

Connections will remain patient with Impaire Et Passe, as they target taking advantage of optimum conditions in the spring.

Good ground is seen as vital for the Willie Mullins-trained eight-year-old, who has won Grade One events at Aintree in each of the past two seasons and could have the Grand National Festival on his agenda once again.

However, there is still hope he could be seen in action at the Cheltenham Festival beforehand, where he currently holds entries for both the Ryanair Chase and the Gold Cup.

Daryl Jacob, the former retained rider for owners Simon Munir and Isaac Souede who tasted Grade One success aboard Impaire Et Passe at Limerick in December 2024 before announcing his retirement, now serves as racing manager for the ‘Double Green’ operation.

He said: “Impaire Et Passe is grand and he likes the nicer ground and at the moment it’s all a bit too soft and mucky for him. We want to have a nice spring with him so we want to keep him fresh and well for then.

“Good ground is key to him, he enjoys that and he’ll have options at Cheltenham, Aintree and Punchestown

“He’s anything from two and a half to three miles and I think he will definitely stay, but I imagine he would start off over the intermediate trip and then work his way up.

“We would be hoping we could get him to Cheltenham and something like the Ryanair could be right up his street. There is then a month from Cheltenham to Aintree where he won last year and then a smaller gap to Punchestown, but those spring festivals are where we want him racing really.”
