5/1
Enthusiastic front-runner who made an impressive winning start to his chase career at Leopardstown over Christmas. Beaten 10½ lengths by El Fabiolo in Grade 1 there next time and would have finished behind him again (headed and weakening when fell last) in Arkle at Cheltenham.

1/4
Smart novice hurdler last term and an even better chaser, making it 3-3 with impressive 5½-length defeat of Jonbon in Arkle at Cheltenham (Dysart Dynamo weakening in third when fell last, leaving Saint Roi in that position). Can't oppose.

40/1
Useful C&D winner. Latest win in chase at Navan in March. 15¾ lengths fourth of 6 to Flame Bearer in Grade 3 at Thurles (18f, soft) 40 days ago. Up against it at this level.

11/1
Very smart novice chaser. 3/1, creditable 1½ lengths second of 5 to Banbridge in Aintree Grade 1 a fortnight ago but beaten 12 lengths by El Fabiolo when third in Arkle at Cheltenham prior to that and his stable-companion will surely be too strong again.

Forecasts

El Fabiolo (1/4), Dysart Dynamo (5/1), Saint Roi (11/1), Indiana Jones (40/1)

Verdict

This should be plain sailing for the top-class EL FABIOLO who has already shown he's superior to stablemates Dysart Dynamo (second choice) and Saint Roi and can make it a perfect 4-4 in his novice chase season.

  1. El Fabiolo1/4
  2. Dysart Dynamo5/1
  3. Saint Roi11/1
