Verdict

The 1-2-3 from this year's Ryanair again do battle but it's a notable absentee from the Cheltenham Festival JONBON who's selected to regain the winning thread having been undone by a rare jumping blip in the rearranged Clarence House on Trials Day in January. Confidence would only heighten should the yard's handful of runners go well on Thursday. Last year's winner Pic d'Orhy arrives fresh, so he may provide most resistance, ahead of recent Ryanair-scorer Protektorat.
