Despite blowing a little hot and cold at times, the Jessica Harrington-trained HOTEL DU NORD can lose his maiden tag here, getting off the mark at the fifth time of asking. The gelding can be forgiven his last start at Navan, as can the Gordon Elliott-trained, Soldier At War who finished well behind Envoi Allen when last seen in December and is expected to go better over hurdles. Future Monarch and The Echo Boy can battle for prize money.
