Verdict

DOSTAL PHIL is the obvious eye-catcher in the field having been bought by JP McManus for €295,000 in November 2016 after winning on turf at Deauville (1m4f+ good) the previous month. The runner up in that contest Demon D'Aunou was also acquired by McManus for a significant sum, and he hacked up on his UK debut at Market Rasen earlier this month. Hopes will be high that Dostal Phil can be Cheltenham bound come March, and if that's to be the case, he should be a fairly clear cut winner in this company.
  1. Dostal Phil
