John Anthony keeps up with the pace of Festival hopefuls

Supreme Novices' Hurdle 
KOPEK DES BORDES is a hot favourite but he’s yet to prove his mettle on the clock with his cakewalk at Leopardstown last time rating just a 96. He was visually impressive though and looks hard to beat.
At more of a price, the figures suggest KAWABOOMGA is worthy of each-way support at 16-1non-runner, no bet (NRNB). This five-year-old is in the Turners as well but would be interesting wherever Willie Mullins runs him.
Arkle Trophy
Sir Gino is a massive loss from the Arkle with Majborough now a very short favour...
