A case can be made for a few in this but a chance is taken with JOHN REEL who could be ahead of the handicapper judged by what he has achieved on the Flat since his last run over hurdles. Peter Evans has his horses going well at the moment and he looks the answer to a tricky looking finale. Cloonacool is interesting with blinkers fitted and Paddy Brennan back on board so a market move would carry significance. Discours D'un Roi is the unknown quantity and the market will give an indication as to what is expected after a lengthy absence. 1. John Reel 2. Cloonacool 3. Discours D'un Roi
