Race preview
A PLUS TARD looked to have plenty of natural speed when landing the Close Brothers Novices' Handicap Chase at Cheltenham in March and could appreciate a first try over 2m for Henry de Bromhead. The five-year-old wasn't disgraced when thrown into Grade 1 company over 3m at Punchestown, but could be really exciting to follow this season over shorter distances. Duc Des Genievres won the Arkle at Cheltenham and will appreciate the likely ground conditions, while Hardline could prove good enough for third ahead of Ballyoisin.
