Five of the last eight favourites have won this race; one of the three that wasn't favourite was subsequent Gold Cup winner Coneygree! No standout candidate this time so marginal preference is for IDEE DE GARDE who tends to go well fresh and with whom connections appear to have been very patient. Among a hatful of potential improvers, Supervisor looks the sort to do better at ths game, while Robaddan and Ashfield Paddy are others to note. Steady Away was a good second here last time, and Vinnie Dev is an interesting recruit.
