Verdict

ARVICO BLEU's close second to Le Richebourg at Listowel sets the standard. He's been beaten three times subsequently but the last two have been in tough handicaps. He could do with some rain but his overall form just about gives him the edge. Ex Patriot was having only his second start over fences when a very good fourth behind the smart Cilaos Emery at Gowran and can be expected to make further progress. Dolciano Dici scored over hurdles on very testing ground in France and his three runs over fences for Willie Mullins have all been on good going so we may not see the best of him until the heavens open. Stooshie makes his debut over fences and though only winning once over timber he ran in plenty of decent races and has a chaser's pedigree.
