14:30 – Napper Tandy
Willie Mullins has Maroto but he was a little disappointing in a novice hurdle at Clonmel last time out. I like Napper Tandy for Matthew Smith. He was eye-catching at Ballinrobe a couple of weeks ago and he’s well handicapped off a mark of 122. He’s an each-way shout in a wide open race.
15:05 – Answer To Kayf (NAP)
Answer To Kayf looks the most likely winner. His form is rock solid and he quickened well to win at Naas in February. His run at Cheltenham when fourth in Martin Pipe was brilliant and he should win for Terence O’Brien.
15:40 – Mistergif
Mistergif is taking a drop in grade and that could be the difference. He ran really well in the Supreme at Cheltenham and he can build on that.
16:15 – Better Days Ahead
Willie has a few in here and Paul Townend has opted for Dancing City. He probably disappointed at the start but he’s got his career back on track. I just wonder whether this is one race too many for him. I’m siding with Better Days Ahead for Gordon Elliott and I fancy him to build on his Martin Pipe win at Cheltenham.
16:50 – Jasmin De Vaux
Jasmin De Vaux tops the betting and he’ll be hard to beat. He won at Naas in January and backed that up when winning the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham. He’s the best horse in this race.
17:25 – Galopin Des Champs
Galopin Des Champs is a year older and he’s a stronger horse than when he lost last year at Punchestown. He’s become more relaxed. The Gold Cup at Cheltenham was a tough race but it always is. He’s in really good form at home and he looks well. He’ll get the job done.
18:00 – The Goffer
James du Berlais gave a good race in the Topham at Aintree last month but he just didn’t get home. I like The Goffer for Gordon Elliott. I don’t think he stays so dropping him to the 2m4f makes sense.
18:35 – Fleur Au Fusil
Aurora Vega was a little disappointing at the Dublin Racing Festival but I don’t know how she turns the form around with Fleur Au Fusil. The latter won at Leopardstown in February, with Aurora Vega in fourth. I’m expecting the same result!
