Gaelic Warrior (4/7), Il Etait Temps (3/1), American Mike (13/2), Inothewayurthinkin (18/1), Lucid Dreams (33/1)

Verdict

A good renewal. GAELIC WARRIOR won a Grade 1 novice hurdle on his final start last season and the manner of his Punchestown chase debut success last month suggests he can repeat the feat over fences. Stablemate Il Etait Temps can given him most to do ahead of American Mike.

  1. GAELIC WARRIOR (GER)
  2. IL ETAIT TEMPS (FR)
  3. AMERICAN MIKE (IRE)
