Banker- Benie Des Dieux. A clear best in the mares division. She’ll have redemption this year
Next best- Al boum photo- Young enough to still be improving, heading down a tried and tested route. Good enough to defend his crown.
EW fancy- Master Debonair- Very impressive last time out against some nice types. Still a big price for the supreme.
Mystery- Le Richbourg- looked outstanding as a novice. Can he step up to grade 1 open company after his injury?
Mystery-

Banker - Kemboy (Gold Cup). Everything about this horse suggests Mullins thinks it’s very, very special.
Next Best - Darasso. (I have no idea where this fella will turn up, he’s so versatile he’s in the CH and Gold Cup betting). He looks made for the Cheltenham hill and 25-1 any race seems reasonable.
Each Way - Lisp. (Won a novice Chase bonus race really impressively so it’ll certainly be aimed at the festival. Tom Bellamy suggested the Close Bros, but it’s not in the betting. 66-1 Arkle, 20-1 any race)
Mystery Horse - Burrows Saint won the Irish Grand National, not sure where it might end up but spreadeagled a decent hurdles field in the last week.
