IT will be interesting to see how the Dublin Racing Festival form pans out at Cheltenham, but you suspect that horses who ran at the Leopardstown meeting could do very well.

You have the Grade 1 contenders, like Footpad and Petit Mouchoir in the Arkle, Samcro in the Ballymore Hurdle, Supasundae in the Stayers’ Hurdle, Djakadam and Our Duke and Outlander and Killultagh Vic and Anibale Fly and Minella Rocco in the Gold Cup, Min and Special Tiara and maybe Ordinary World in the Champion Chase, Faugheen in the Champion Hurdle, Monalee and Al Boum Photo and Dounikos probably in the RSA Chase, Tower Bridge and Duc Des Genievres maybe in the Albert Bartlett, Invitation Only probably in the JLT, Mr Adjudicator and Farclas in the Triumph Hurdle, Blackbow and Rhinestone in the Champion Bumper.

Then you have a clutch of handicappers, like Patricks Park and Tully East and Last Goodbye and maybe Snow Falcon in the Brown Advisory Plate, Any Second Now in the Close Brothers Chase, Three Stars in the Grand Annual, Deal D’Estruval in whichever handicap hurdle he gets into. And others.

And Edwulf in the Gold Cup. Now that would be some story.
