Solid chaser, winner of a Grade 3 contest at Navan earlier this month before only getting as far as the first at Naas when unseating in the four-runner contest. Leading chance with Gold Cup winning jockey booked.
Has progressed well over fences since the summer winning five races including a four runner affair at the Showcase Meeting at Cheltenham. Pulled up when behind at the last in the Close Brothers at the festival earlier in the month.
Second of four over 8L behind Jetz on latest start in a Grade 3 contest at Navan earlier in the month. Looks up against it here.
Could possibly be a crucial weight advantage for this contest after bombing in the soft ground behind Jetz and Benruben at Navan earlier in the month. Possibly the one to beat with conditions in his favour.
Forecasts
Jetz (7/4), Duca De Thaix (2/1), Benruben (7/2), Cubomania (5/1)
There could have been excuses for the Gordon Elliott-trained DUCA DE THAIX last time at Navan and the six-year-old can put the record straight here getting a strong pull at the weights on more suitable ground. The Gigginstown House Stud representative can get the better of Jetz and Benruben, his last time out conquerors.
- Duca De Thaix
- Jetz
- Benruben
