QUAI DE BOURBON looked a smart performer in the making when posting an excellent third in an exceptionally strong renewal of the Martin Pipe at last month's Cheltenham Festival, so he's very much the one to beat, especially with further progress on the cards. Unexposed pair Twoohthree and Billericay Dickie are feared most.
