Cavalier Du Luy
7/1
STEDE BONNET matched the form he had shown when winning twice in bumpers when opening his hurdles account at Tramore last time and he can continue his progression to follow up. Next best could be Irish Champ, who shaped promisingly at Leopardstown on his hurdling debut, with Cavalier du Luy completing the shortlist.

20% Dan Skelton's strike rate in mid season

27% Sean Bowen's strike rate when riding prominently (rides *STEDE BONNET* - could pay to be near the pace)

Race Hints

Specific Pace Hint: Cavalier Du Luy might not get things all its own way near the head of affairs but shouldn’t be held back by that alone: The forecast decent pace still isn’t likely to sway the advantage towards those usually ridden further back such as is Sanilam.
