Le Riche fans should fancy Hardline quite a bit for this. Beat Us & Them easy earlier in the season at Navan (good track) cruised, and won easily. Us & Them was LR nearest challenger in both last starts. Line through this is tricky to assess but must have a strong chance. All imho
Leaning toward Lalor in this, mainly due to a few reasons.
His time & performance first time out was very good. The ground was probably rattling but he loved it and time was fast than Sprinter's Arkle which was also on good ground. I think he was faster than every Arkle in recent years with the exception of Douvan but obviously had nice ground than most. Looks like he may have had a wind issue last season over hurdles and it has held him back but has won a G1 over hurdles. Bedrock & VDF (very recently) have franked the form of his G1 at Aintree, some other nice horses in behind that day too.
Last time out and lack of a run are negatives for me.
Trends probably put you on Glen Forsa but he has won over half a furlong short of 3m.

Can't have Hardline without looking at VDR IMO, although I hope VDR goes JLT myself. Not worried about the case for VDR against Hardline now, but VDR has close enough direct form lines with Le Richebourg that should make him of interest, especially @ 20/1 NRNB.
In fact, as cover for my JLT bets I have added him @ 100's, 90's & 85's on the exchanges, 'just in case' they choose this route.
Le Richebourg fans should write this race off, make good use of the short bar queues and re-load every live account they have for a Delta Work plunge in RSA...

I am just covering it NRNB. I cant see DW going 4 miles as Davy will keep the ride but they might look back at Drinmore and say why not.
I think that would be a massive mistake, JLT looks a tough race and it might all happen too quick for him.
This horse is built for stamina, I originally backed him for the 4 miler but RSA is probably the right race, smaller field and better pilots reduce risks...
Always like this, a week or so away.
Going through the confidence phase.
Doubts will start later next week.
Then it's a free for all once it all begins.
