Verdict

A fiendishly difficult puzzle to solve with most of these difficult to rule out completely including Goodbye Someday, Future Proof, Ardamir and Filon D'Oudairies. Décor Irlandais is an interesting runner. He has a tough task off top-weight but has won fresh & only improved throughout last season. Given the stables record in handicaps at this meeting, The Mouse Doctor is strongly considered especially if the money came for him. However, on just his third start for Willie Mullins, FAN DE BLUES is the selection. He made a solid handicap debut in the Ladbrokes Hurdle five months ago and can build on that off just a 1lb higher mark.
  1. Fan De Blues
  2. The Mouse Doctor
  3. Decor Irlandais
