For all money this looks to be between Footpad and DEATH DUTY. It was impossible not to be impressed with the former's performance when winning on chase debut at Navan last time out, but preference is for Gordon Elliott's representative. He has already shown he can cut it at Grade 1 level over fences, winning a top level (albeit weaker) race at Fairyhouse last time. He can put that experience to good use and maintain his unbeaten record over the larger obstacles. Avenir D'Une Vie, the other Gigginstown competitor, may be a distant third best.
