I m not quite sure why
ELDORADO ALLEN (7/1) seems to be the forgotten horse in the market here. Hitman, Fusil Raffles and The Shunter are all priced up ahead of him in the market despite him chasing home the best horse on show at last month s Cheltenham Festival, that being Nicky Henderson s Shishkin. He was 12 lengths behind Shishkin that day but finished ahead of the likes of Captain Guinness and Allmankind. He was eight and a half lengths behind Shishkin at Doncaster before that but had claimed two wins over fences prior to that, including a 19-length success of Quel Destin at Cheltenham last November. The ground won t be a problem and he can finally get his head in front again out of the shadow of Shishkin.

The winners of all seven Grade 1 hurdles at last month’s Cheltenham Festival were trained in Ireland and it is therefore no surprise that two of the top three in this market are based in the Emerald Isle.
Abacadabras could not hold a candle to Honeysuckle when second in the Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown in February but it has since turned out that there are not many who can after the mare proved herself outstanding with victory at Cheltenham.
Abacadabras fell at the third flight in the Champion Hurdle and that is a concern. Backing last-time-out fallers in Grade 1 hurdles since the start of 2016 would have yielded a loss of £11.60 to £1 level stakes and only five have won from a total of 43 runners (12 per cent).
