Betting Breakdown

Forecasts

Visionarian (5/2), Robinnia (11/4), The Little Yank (10/3), Santana Plessis (6/1), Lignou (7/1), Arthurian Fame (8/1), Fitzhenry (12/1), Railway Hurricane (22/1)

Verdict

Quite a good novice hurdle and VISIONARIAN could be the way to go. He's unbeaten in a point and novice hurdle, readily coming clear at Gowran, and likely has plenty more to offer. Robinnia is an obvious threat for Willie Mullins after scoring with ease at Punchestown. Fitzhenry, last seen running well in the Kim Muir, is the proven class act and could be good for a place at least.
