This looks between the three that have already won with LE RICHEBOURG making most appeal. Joseph O’Brien’s charge scored easily at Killarney on his hurdling bow with Denham Sound well beaten and the latter went on to finish second to the selection’s stablemate Treasure Chest at Kilbeggan. Nessun Dorma also made a winning start over timber at Kilbeggan and has obvious claims representing Willie Mullins with Ruby Walsh on board today but it’s hard to a make a case for any of the remainder.
