L'EAU DU SUD (2) arrives unbeaten with fences securing an easy Stratford success prior to an impressive 11L victory in the 2m G2 Arkle Trial Novices Chase three weeks back at Cheltenham. Ticks all the boxes. DOWN MEMORY LANE (1) represents a leading Irish yard. Made a winning chase debut in easy fashion three weeks ago over 2m1f at Navan. Looks promising. RUBAUD (3) bids for a hat-trick after a pair of Listed hurdle victories including the 1m7f G2 Elite Hurdle last month at Wincanton. Interesting on chasing debut. TOUCH ME NOT (5) won by 6L the G2 Craddockstown Novice Chase tackling 2m at Punchestown. Not dismissed.
