Verdict

QUAI DE BOURBON's sole defeat from four starts over hurdles last season came in the Martin Pipe at the Cheltenham Festival, a race in which he finished a very solid third. The 5-y-o is armed with sky-high potential now tackling the larger obstacles and, granted a clear round, he will prove hard to beat. Dee Capo, who was still firmly in contention when falling two out at Navan three weeks ago, is feared most ahead of the selection's stablemates Captain Cody and Chapeau de Soleil.
