    Race Analysis

    ROMEO COOLIO (10) was omitted from the Arkle in favour of this marked step up in trip which could prove suitable. Last seen registering a determined success when never entirely comfortable in the 2m1f G1 Arkle Novice Chase at Leopardstown. KAID D'AUTHIE (4) represents the same yard and connections as the 2024 winner. Impressed scoring the G1 Dr P. J. Moriarty Novice Chase at Leopardstown most recently. Main danger. Two time G1 hurdle winning FINAL DEMAND (2) was alarmingly disappointing on latest appearance in the aforementioned G1 Dr P. J. Moriarty Novice Chase. High potential but arrives with much to prove. WENDIGO (14) cannot be discounted if stamina comes to the fore.
