FormscanBy Eamonn Murphy - Douvan has been declared here in case anything untoward happens in the Champion Chase but UN DE SCEAUX is the one that's been headed in this direction for quite some time for team Closutton. Willie Mullins could hardly have his string in better form and Ruby Walsh is slotting seamlessly back in at number one after his injury enforced absence. Un De Sceaux has been a tremendous horse for connections, including when victorious here last year, and hopefully he'll prove more tractable on this occasion. He goes well in deep ground but the conservation of energy through the race will be important if the underfoot conditions remain demanding. In what has the makings of an exciting heat, it's difficult to put a line through anything with huge confidence.
For 5yo+ who are allotted a rating of 130 or more by the BHA Head of Handicapping following a review of the horses entered and after taking account of races run up to and including the day prior to confirmation - horses who are not qualified for a rating in Great Britain, Ireland or France may also be entered & such horses may be eligible providing the Handicapper is satisfied that the horse's racecourse performances up to and including the day prior to confirmation would merit a minimum rating of 130 (the decision of the BHA Head of Handicapping shall be final).
