Henry de Bromhead has a strong team for this year's Festival and one of his better chances of the week must be NOTEBOOK. The seven-year-old arrives here as a dual Grade 1 winner and he's vastly improved for both a switch to chasing and a drop in trip. Despite his unbeaten record over obstacles, he still gives the impression he can go on improving over fences and is taken to confirm form with the likes of Cash Back and Fakir D'Oudairies. Global Citizen took a big step forward last time and may continue to progress while the mares Put The Kettle On and Maire Banrigh aren't without each-way claims.
