Patanne can make light of his lengthy absence

You’d imagine Faugheen will follow the Hurricane Fly route and go straight to Punchestown. I would imagine that Douvan, like last year’s winning novices will do the same.

Don Poli will probably head for Punchestown but there’s a three mile and a two-and-a-half mile in Aintree, and you have the Ryanair in Fairyhouse over two and a half, so who knows where Vautour could go?
