Forecasts

Chambord Du Lys (5/1), After Rain (6/1), Golden Spear (6/1), Thomas Hobson (7/1), Veinard (8/1), Joey Sasa (8/1), Ice Cold Soul (8/1), St Stephens Green (12/1), Joshua Lane (12/1), Ivan Grozny (12/1), Waxies Dargle (16/1), Grand Partner (18/1), My Manekineko (20/1), Modem (25/1), Calino D'Airy (25/1), Time For Mabel (33/1)

Verdict

Chambord Du Lys is an interesting handicap debutant for the champion trainer. She's been overlooked by the stable jockey but has an excellent partner nonetheless and is expected to go well. This is going to be a lot tougher than her Clonmel success though, so she'll need to be ready to battle. Quite a few that locked horns in the Coral.ie Hurdle in January square off again and the likes of winner Ice Cold Soul, After Rain, Golden Spear and Veinard are all respected on that form line. The champion jockey clearly feels Thomas Hobson can put his Cheltenham effort behind him but Galway Hurdle third MODEM may continue the wonderful of his trainer and jockey by taking this contest on his return to action.
