El Fabiolo (Paul) goes for the Grade 1 Novices Hurdle over 2 miles. He has had just one for one for us when he beat Tempo Chapter Two very easily in a maiden at Tramore on New Year’s Day. Tempo Chapter Two franked the form when winning at Fairyhouse next time. We skipped Cheltenham to come here and he has been working great at home. He lacks a little experience for a race like this but he will be really well suited by the ground and definitely goes here with a big chance.
Royal Rendezvous (Paul) runs in the Topham Handicap Chase over 2m 5f of the National course. He faces a tall order with top weight but he is in very good form and could outrun his odds. Annamix (Danny) has been disappointing recently but he will handle the ground and will have no problem with the trip.
