Boylesports Tied Cottage Chase (Grade 2)

It is impossible to suggest that DOUVAN will be beaten in this race but the great leveller in this game is the fact the fences must be jumped. This looks to be his final stopping point en route to next month's Queen Mother Champion Chase and while he makes little appeal as a betting proposition, it will be a great source of disappointment should anything go wrong for him. Smashing looks the best of the remaining trio and should take the minor honours while Draycott Place and Realt Mor are likely to find themselves struggling a long way from home despite being decent performers in their own rights. 1.
