ALTIOR has been impressive in all four starts over fences so far including when defeating more experienced rivals at Newbury last time out. The selections trainer won this in both 2012 and 2013 and he looks likely to prove very hard to beat in this Grade 1 contest with the predicted ground likely to suit also. Of the remainder Royal Caviar looked the most likely winner of a Grade 1 contest in Ireland last time out prior to falling at the last, while he lacks the experience of many of his rivals having had just two outings over fences, he represents top connections here. Of the remainder Charbel comes into this race having finished runner-up to the selection last time out, while both Some Plan and Forest Bihan have impressive records over fences.
