9/2

Useful chaser. 2 wins from 6 runs this season. Didn't need to be at best when winning 12-runner handicap chase at Punchestown (20.9f, soft, 4/1) 174 days ago. This is more demanding.

Forecasts

Robin Des Foret (8/13), Defi Bleu (11/4), Westerner Point (10/3), Line Out (9/2), Judgement Day (12/1), Black Scorpion (100/1)

It's been a while since ROBIN DES FORET last hit the target, but he usually contests stronger races than this and should prove a tough nut to crack on these terms. Westerner Point is capable when on-song, but he has a bit to prove at present. Consequently, recent Wexford winner Defi Bleu and the hat-trick seeking Line Out can fill the places.
