Selected odds by:
Has quickly developed into a smart chaser, though Energumene was way too good for him at Naas. Fell at Leopardstown next time then far too keen at Cheltenham. Could show plenty more here.
|
Most impressive when winning all 3 starts over fences this term under Paul Townend, taking the step up to Grade 1 company in his stride at Leopardstown. Great prospect who will take all the beating.
|
Very smart chaser. Two wins from 4 runs last season, well on top at the finish when taking 20f Fairyhouse Grade 1 25 days ago. More needed to take this back down in trip.
|
Fairly useful chaser. Course winner. 23¼ lengths last of 5 to Elimay in listed chase (25/1) at Fairyhouse (21f, good to soft) 26 days ago, pulling hard. Outsider and very hard to fancy.

Forecasts
Energumene (2/5), Janidil (4/1), Captain Guinness (11/2), Embittered (12/1), Zarkareva (100/1)
ENERGUMENE missed Cheltenham but that could prove to be a blessing in disguise as he contests a pretty thin-looking Grade 1 here. He's a fine prospect and should take all the beating if ready to roll. C&D winner Captain Guinness might be the one for the forecast if settling better than he did in the Arkle.
