– Fakir D'Oudairies won at trials day and looked to be headed to the Triumph, but will new owner J.P. McManus give the race a swerve?

– Defi De Seuil's recent performances sees him at the top of the JLT market, but with Irish horses underexposed and many in the field with multiple entries, there looks to be good value at longer odds – find out who to back.
