Forecasts

Arcadian Emperor (5/6), Kiely's Place (2/1), Speculateur (11/2), Le Roi Du Livet (9/1), Gainsville (12/1), Maxfort (25/1), Kaiser De Chanay (25/1), Marian Avenue (150/1), Davitts Quay (150/1), Liss Eile (200/1), True Harmony (250/1), Flossy Roc (250/1), Lunar Majesty (300/1), Lady Aquarelle (300/1), Fenian Maxios (300/1), The Ducks Walk (300/1)

Verdict

ARCADIAN EMPEROR gave best only to one with plenty more experience at Naas on hurdling debut and sets a clear standard. Le Roi du Livet wasn't knocked about when third behind the selection in the same race so must be respected, while Speculateur is sure to be suited by this longer trip.
