Forecasts

Haut En Couleurs (1/3), Thedevilscoachman (11/4), Mt Leinster (9/2), Gentleman De Mee (5/1), Global Society (33/1), Hardy Bloke (150/1), Tullyhogue Fort (150/1), A Cheap Thrill (150/1)

Verdict

Successful on his sole start in France, HAUT EN COULEURS was placed in Grade 1 events at major festivals during the spring, efforts which were all the more meritorious given his lack of experience. Providing his jumping passes the test, he will prove hard to beat. Stablemate Mt Leinster should be involved, but Thedevilscoachman is feared most on the back of a promising chase debut at Punchestown.
