Formscan By Gary Carson - Supreme Novices’ fourth KARNIQUET looks the one to beat in this. The Kapgarde gelding ran a solid race behind star stablemate Kopek Des Bordes at Cheltenham last month, having also been second to him at the Dublin Racing festival, and this is an easier task now. On official ratings there isn’t much between him and another stablemate, Gaucher. That Frankel gelding was impressive in Grade 3 company at Naas last time but his overall form doesn’t look as strong. Willie Mullins saddles half the field and Irancy, who was seventh in the Supreme, is an unexposed sort who could play a bigger role now.%0A
