Forecasts

Marine Nationale (1/2), Ho My Lord (11/2), Firm Footings (8/1), Monbeg Park (8/1), Feu Du Bresil (9/1), Walk With Paul (22/1), Dreal Deal (50/1), Dutch Schultz (66/1), Reversal (100/1)

Verdict

All eyes will be on MARINE NATIONALE, who maintained his unbeaten record with a fine performance in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in March and he is already ante-post favourite with several firms for the Arkle at this season's Festival. Granted a clean round of jumping, he will prove very hard to beat. Ho My Lord shaped with plenty of promise behind a smart stablemate on his chase debut at Thurles and is preferred to Firm Footings for forecast purposes.

  1. MARINE NATIONALE (IRE)
  2. HO MY LORD (FR)
  3. FIRM FOOTINGS (IRE)
