Bids to restore faith here and could hardly be better treated by the race conditions
1	Hercule Du Seuil Brown J:Mark Walsh T:W P Mullins	J:Mark Walsh T:W P Mullins	164	ht	11143-	150	160	147	192d	—	—	+22	44.9	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Probably suited by this sort of small field conditions chase but faces a tough enough task
3	Quilixios Bay J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Henry De Bromhead	J:Darragh O'Keeffe T:Henry De Bromhead	159	—	16185-	146	158	144	211d	—	—	+17	36.7	0.88/1	7/2 22%
Fell short at Cheltenham and Aintree; this sort of race might just suit him a bit better

The drop back in trip is probably not a worry but would undoubtedly prefer it softer

Good second in a mares chase at Sligo last month but looks out of her depth here
