Forecasts
L'eau Du Sud (10/11), Down Memory Lane (2/1), Touch Me Not (5/1), Rubaud (5/1), Soul Icon (16/1)
This race has been won by some top chasers over the years and DOWN MEMORY LANE is taken to add his name to the roll of honour. He jumped with aplomb when making a successful debut in this sphere at Navan and he has the potential to take high rank in the 2m novice chasers' division. That remark also applies to L'Eau du Sud, who made it 2-2 over fences with an impressive display at Cheltenham. He is the main danger ahead of the selection's stablemate Touch Me Not and chase debutant Rubaud.
