The trials have gone really well for Highflyer buys. Festival Grade 1 favourites to have smoothly come through their recent prep races including Buveur D’Air (Champion Hurdle), Altior (Champion Chase) and Clan Des Obeaux (Gold Cup). Some smart recent wins by Al Dancer (favourite for the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle), Frodon (Ryanair Trophy) and Top Notch (Ryanair or Stayers’ Hurdle) have also cemented their positions in the ante-post market for the big festival. Others to keep an eye out for are Mister Fister (Supreme), Verdana Blue (Champion Hurdle), Topofthegame (RSA Chase), Kildisart (JLT Chase), Footpad (Ryanair Chase) plus Might Bite and Bristol De Mai in the Gold Cup.
