Richard Hoiles sticks with Benie Des Dieux in his Tote Ten To Follow
People can be strategically too left-field; you need a solid core, then tinker around the edges.
Allart looked like a chaser at Cheltenham. I like horses who will run in two small novice chases, then worry about the future.
I've selected from the Champion Bumper, which looks very strong. He's a high-profile horse and likely to scare rivals off.

I thought should have won at Cheltenham. Willie Mullins likes that path to the Mares' Hurdle, whereas Honeysuckle is being drawn into Champion Hurdle talk. It's not beyond possibility she ends up in the Stayers' Hurdle either.
is my two-miler. He was very disappointing at Cheltenham, but could step up in trip if all doesn't go to plan.
Envoi Allen jumps perfectly. He will scare off opposition and can carry all before him. should also have an uncomplicated start chasing, then run in a Graded race before potentially winning his championship race.
Epatante was the best hurdler last season. I had Abacadbras in until the other day, but she remains the best on evidence, while my gut-feeling when won the County Hurdle was that he is a Graded horse. He is my plan B.
was the best horse in the RSA Chase. I don't think Champ showed an electric turn of foot, but the front two took each other on too far out. He looks the most plausible Gold Cup horse.
Its impossible to leave out the fellow Henry De-Bromhead-trained who did nothing wrong last season and should be hard to beat in Grade 1 hurdles in both open and mares company once again.
