Verdict
Prince De Beauchene won't be going to Cheltenham but is still in the Grand National. He's looked one of the best recruit to these races this season as his victory over On The Fringe at Leopardstown shows and he'll be difficult to beat. However, he has to concede 7lb to TWO ROCKERS and that could prove beyond him. Adrian Maguire's charge scored three times for Alan King over hurdles, including a Grade 2, and has won five of his six starts between the flags, unseating his rider in the other. He's still in Friday's Foxhunter at Cheltenham for which he's been well supported. The six-year-old Wish Ye Didn't looks another prospective star for Enda Bolger. She would probably have won a maiden hunter's race at Clonmel last time but for a last-fence fall and her allowances should enable her to get into the picture.
