15:40 – Golf Marin

Willie Mullins has Figaroc and Feu Du Bresil declared and the latter won last time out, but Figaroc is probably a better horse so if I had to pick one of Willie’s runners, it’d be him. However, I like Golf Marin to win the race. He won at Fairyhouse earlier this month and he can come out on top again. Snapius could also be worth a look as an each-way punt for James Nash.

16:15 – Coeur Sublime

I fancy Coeur Sublime for Henry de Bromhead. He can go very close off a mark of 150 with Ben Harvey also claiming 5lbs. He comes here off a poor run at Cheltenham in the Grand Annual, however, he did the same last year and he finished second by a head to Blue Lord.

16:50 – Stealthy Tom

Stealthy Tom is a solid performer who will only get better. He won twice at Killarney and Punchestown before his disappointing run at Cork earlier this month, however, he can bounce back for Enda Bolger, especially with Harry Swan taking off 5lbs.

17:25 – Klassical Dream

I don’t know why people thought Paul Townend would pick Monkfish over Klassical Dream. Monkfish’s run at Fairyhouse was fine and that’s all it was. Klassical Dream has won this race for the last two years and while he disappointed at Cheltenham, he’s got a brilliant record here.

He’s the one to beat.

18:00 – Walking On Air

I’m with Walking On Air for Nicky Henderson with Daryl Jacob on board. He’s got solid form and the yard are also in good form. I can’t back Willie’s Parmenion. I’ve followed him off the cliff and I’ve pulled myself back up to side with Walking On Air.

18:35 – El Fabiolo

El Fabiolo is by far the best horse and if there’s going to be a challenger for Energumene next season, it’s him. I’d say Dysart Dynamo follows him home too.

19:10 – Broomfield Hall

Broomfield Hall had a nice comeback run at Fairyhouse earlier this month when finishing fourth. That run leaves her spot on for this.

19:45 – Ballyburn

Patrick Mullins has chosen Ballyburn and I was impressed with him on his debut at Punchestown in February. I hope it works out for Patrick!
