Verdict

DOYEN DU BAR is quite useful and should be up to defying a penalty here. Recent C&D scorer Dream Boy might be the one to give him most to do unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding returning hurdle newcomers March Wind and Rattling Road.

  1. DOYEN DU BAR (IRE)
  2. DREAM BOY
  3. MARCH WIND (IRE)
