Royal Rendezvous (Danny) goes for the 2m 4f novice chase. He was fifth in the Arkle Novice Chase at Leopardstown last time and will have to reverse form with Gallant John Joe who finished in front of him in third that day. However, we are hoping he might be able to reverse the placings over this longer trip.
We have two in the Leinster National Handicap Chase over 3 miles. We left the cheekpieces off Chef Des Obeaux (Mikey Fogarty) in the Thyestes and it didn’t agree with him and he eventually pulled up. He has to shoulder top weight here but he will like the ground and trip. Bonbon Au Miel (Danny) is a nice type of horse but hasn’t run for a long time. He will enjoy this testing ground.
Kaatskill Nap (Danny) runs in the 2m 3f maiden hurdle. He has been off the track for quite a while but is now ready for action. However, he is more a summer type and we are worried about how he will handle this soft ground.
