Selected odds by:
Proved suited by the return to 3m when overhauling Il Est Francais in the King George at Kempton. Disappointing in the Cheltenham Gold Cup sincebut he did bounce back from a poor run at the Cheltenham Festival to win at this meeting last year.
|
Top-class chaser. Course winner. Didn't seem quite himself when unable to complete a Cheltenham Gold Cup hat-trick last month but looked as good as ever at Leopardstown over the winter. Second to Fastorslow in the last 2 runnings of this. The one to beat.
|
High-class chaser. Course winner. Creditable 19¼ lengths fourth of 9 to Inothewayurthinkin in Cheltenham Gold Cup at Cheltenham 47 days ago but Galopin Des Champs holds him on that form.
|
Top-class chaser who won the Champion Novice over C&D at this meeting last year. Improved again when second to Fact To File in John Durkan here on return in November but not at best when 17¼ lengths fifth of 11 to Banbridge in King George at Kempton in December. Off since.
|
Forecasts
Galopin Des Champs (5/6), Spillane's Tower (4/1), Banbridge (4/1), Monty's Star (13/2)
No Fastorslow this year so perhaps it'll be third time lucky in this race for GALOPIN DES CHAMPS. Banbridge is narrowly preferred to Spillane's Tower for the forecast spot.
