Race Tip

Winner of the G1 Triumph Hurdle last year MAJBOROUGH (6) made a seamless transition to chasing at Fairyhouse last month and can enhance his G1 Arkle claims with a victory here. Stablemate ILE ATLANTIQUE (3) rates the pick on form after beating FIREFOX (1) in the G2 Racing Post Novice Chase at Navan last time. Can provide a bold bid to remain unbeaten over fences. Runner-up that day is the third mentioned who will likely need more to topple the top two options. TOUCH ME NOT (5) also warrants a second look.
