Forecasts

Altior (1/8), Special Tiara (8/1), Speredek (9/1), Diego Du Charmil (11/1), Diakali (33/1)

Verdict

ALTIOR is already being compared to some of the all-time greats over this distance and should coast home here en-route to defending his crown at the Cheltenham Festival. Best of the rest here looks dual winner of the race Special Tiara who isn't getting any younger but the veteran is ideally suited by 2m on this speed favouring course. Diego Du Charmil is well held by Altior but has youth on his side so could easily improve again this year.
  1. Altior
  2. Special Tiara
  3. Diego Du Charmil
