The strength behind KAID D'AUTHIE in the betting at Navan suggests he'd been giving the right signals at Closutton so he's taken to gain compensation, with confidence increased should the market speak in his favour again. Gordon Elliott's Sermandzarak made a promising start to his hurdle career at Punchestown and is second choice ahead of the other Willie Mullins runner Kalix Delabarriere.
