SP forecast 6-4

Unbeaten in four and could hardly have been more impressive when dominating a Grade 2 at Punchestown last time. His slick jumping will be a major asset around here, while testing ground holds no fears. However, the form of that latest win is nothing special (received 6lb from runner-up Mengli Khan) and the market leader doesn’t have a great recent record in the festival opener.

Conclusion Looks a short price given how competitive this race is.
