Analyst's Verdict
WILLITGOAHEAD stands out on form dropped in grade and looks the way to go over Fountain House and Turnupdevolume, both of whom have previous in this race.
Analyst's Verdict
A competitive renewal of this valuable race and POWERFUL is taken to regain the winning thread after failing to get involved dropped to 2m at Fairyhouse last time. He had previously made it 2-2 in handicaps at this course when accounting for San Hilario and 13 others in January and this step back up in trip will aid his cause. Matt Connor and last year's second Almuhit, for whom Harry Cobden is an eye-catching booking, are both greatly respected, along with the progressive Onlymammycanloveme.
Analyst's Verdict
Preference is for KALIX DELABARRIERE, who had several of these rivals behind when scoring under this pilot at Fairyhouse earlier this month and remains feasibly treated. Jet To Monte Carlo and Khrisma are also going the right way and are feared most.
Analyst's Verdict
LE LABO had the measure of subsequent Grade 2 winner Kazansky when coming to grief at Cork before making amends in a Grade 3 at Naas (edged out Blake) and looks well worth a shot at this level with further progress very likely. Gordon Elliott holds a strong hand with El Cairos, Skylight Hustle and Koktail Brut, the first named arguably the pick having fared best of the Irish in the Supreme.
Analyst's Verdict
KITZBUHEL has a very likeable way of going about things and he can sign off his novice campaign with a third Grade 1 success having doubled his tally in the Brown Advisory at Cheltenham last month. Stablemate Kappa Jy Pyke and Lovely Hurling tackle 3m for the first time and they could be the pair to offer most resistance.
Analyst's Verdict
A typical renewal of this valuable 4-y-o bumper with it very light on experience. ABBEYGLEN is a half-brother to a dual bumper winner and hails from a stable more than capable of readying a newcomer, so he earns the vote to end the recent domination of Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott in this race. Altesse du Luy, Bacharach and Strategic are a trio of other well-bred types to take seriously.
Analyst's Verdict
A fascinating race to form a view on given MAJBOROUGH will polarise opinion but he showed at Leopardstown what he can do when in a rhythm and he's taken to cast aside a big off day at Cheltenham and regain the winning thread. Stablemate Il Etait Temps took advantage of the selection's flop in the Queen Mother Champion Chase and is a rock-solid opponent, while Marine Nationale is also seriously talented and fresh for this.
Analyst's Verdict
An interesting bumper with some excellent pedigrees/yards on show. MR RAGSTONE is just about the pick before market clues, though his stablemate Summer Bee and Pretty Fortunate also tick plenty of boxes on paper. Bunker Buster has achieved most of those with prior experience in this sphere.
