Forecasts

Kargese (3/1), Absurde (5/1), Lark In The Mornin (11/2), Valgrand (8/1), Mclaurey (17/2), Irish Panther (12/1), Our Champ (14/1), Pinot Gris (14/1), Daddy Long Legs (14/1), Ethical Diamond (16/1), Hansard (16/1), Cracking Rhapsody (20/1), Ndaawi (25/1), Spirit D'aunou (25/1), Norman Fletcher (40/1), Fils D'oudairies (80/1)

Verdict

This could be run to suit the strong-travelling KARGESE who would benefit from a similarly ice-cool ride as Absurde was given when landing this race 12 months ago. It's a vote of confidence that Paul Townend switches allegiances and she can give Willie Mullins an unprecedented eighth County Hurdle. 2024 Boodles winner Lark In The Morning looks primed to run another huge race at the Festival, while Valgrand may fare best of the home team.

  1. KARGESE (FR)
  2. LARK IN THE MORNIN (GER)
  3. VALGRAND (FR)
