Forecasts

Ha D'Or (11/10), Andy Dufresne (5/1), Ilikedwayurthinkin (7/1), Gallant John Joe (15/2), Egality Mans (10/1), Hereditary Rule (14/1), Royal Rendezvous (18/1), Lieutenant Command (18/1), The Little Yank (22/1)

HA D'OR was out of his depth in the Arkle at the Cheltenham Festival but his opening mark is a fair one on the pick of his form so he could be the answer. Ilikedwayurthinkin took a step back in the right direction in this headgear when third at Leopardstown and rates the main threat ahead of Andy Dufresne, who failed to meet expectations in the Grand Annual.
