...BUT KEEP AN EYE ON THESE OUTSIDERS

SAINT CALVADOS, FAUGHEEN and LA BAGUE AU ROI

SAINT CALVADOS is one we want to duck in the Arkle. He will have to run faster than ever before to beat Footpad, but we have been really impressed with him this year and he will favour the ground. in the Champion Hurdle, Buveur D’Air is a very solid favourite but we also want to keep Willie Mullins’ FAUGHEEN on side. There are many question marks surrounding him after he was beaten on his last two starts, but after he won at Punchestown in november he became a huge liability. in the Mares’ Hurdle, Apple’s Jade might be the short-priced favourite but we have been knocked over with each-way support for Warren Greatrex’s

LA BAGUE AU ROI and we will be looking to keep her on side.
