FormscanBy Tom Weekes - DOUVAN bids to win his 14th consecutive race in what is could be his career-defining moment here. He has always shown vast potential and while successful in both the Supreme Novices Hurdle and Arkle Chase at previous Festivals, steps into proper top class Open company for the first time today. His short odds reflect his potential and he should prove too strong for some high class, but not top class, rivals. Special Tiara has filled third place in the previous two renewals of this race and can again place while Fox Norton has already been beaten by DOUVAN and also looks booked for the placings. God's Own, fourth in last season's renewal, did beat Vautour to win a Grade 1 at Punchestown last season but while he has failed to win in three starts this term, was placed in a Grade 1 on his latest effort and is another who should get involved for the placings.
