Ruby Walsh

14:50 Deauville – Alpine Star

I feel you can oppose Palace Pier in this and I wasn’t as impressed with him at Ascot when he beat Lope Y Fernandez. I’m not certain he’s as good as he was last year. For that reason, I’m going to side with ALPINE STAR. I know she’s not as impressive as everyone thought she’d be on the international stage, however she was second to Fancy Blue in the French Oaks.

She was second in this race to Palace Pier last year and then finished runner-up behind Tarnawa, who went on to win at Longchamp last year. She came back with an okay run in York and travelled well, but got tired on her first run in just under a year. She’ll improve on that and there’s every reason she can turn round last year’s form on Palace Pier.

14:50 Deauville – Palace Pier

The ground appears perfect for everyone at Deauville and there will be no excuses. It looks as though it’ll be a deep field, but PALACE PIER is rightfully the favourite. He is the best horse in this race and Poetic Flare has levelled out a little bit now.

We know he’s not quite as brilliant as the St James’ form suggested, but he’s a good horse. I love how he runs so much, as you know what you’re getting with him. He’s been a legend of a horse this season. Alpine Star is no mug but on the European stage, she’s not quite a superstar. Palace Pier is just the best horse and will be too good.
