5:25 – Gentleman De Mee – 9/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – The Grade 1 William Hill Champion Chase has attracted just six runners, but they include Champion Chase winner Energumene who bids for back to successes in the race. His biggest rival is likely be Leopardstown Grade 1 winner and stablemate Gentleman De Mee who will appreciate drier ground. Energumene is clearly the one to beat but on yielding ground I can see Gentleman De Mee giving him a race.
6:35 – Classic Getaway – 9/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Willie Mullins saddles four of the six runners and I like the claims of the lightly raced Classic Getaway. We haven’t seen the 7-year-old since his good win on chase debut at Gowran Park in November but he’s 2-2 returning from a 150+ day layoff.
Cheers
John
