Very smart chaser. Won a Killarney Grade 3 and Galway conditions race last summer. Would have won again but for falling at the last at Listowel in September. Given time to get over that. hard to beat if close to his best.

Smart chaser. Five wins from 18 NH runs, including a Fairyhouse Grade 3 in January. Creditable 4 lengths second of 5 to Allegorie De Vassy in listed chase at Naas (16f, heavy, 7/4) 7 days ago. Back up in trip. Should give another good account.

Forecasts

Saint Sam (10/11), Riviere D'etel (6/5), Lucid Dreams (15/2), Embittered (28/1), Ivar The Boneless (250/1)

Verdict

Willie Mullins can land this Grade 2 for the fourth year in succession courtesy of the very smart SAINT SAM. Gordon Elliott's Riviere d'Etel, who like the selection has already tasted success at Grade 3 level this season, is the obvious threat.
