Verdict

Dropping to 2m represents a new challenge for FACT TO FILE but he has barely put a foot wrong thus far and the way he travels in his races offers plenty of hope that the tools needed for this particular test are indeed within his arsenal. The manner of his victory in the Ryanair at the Cheltenham Festival suggests that he's still improving. The clear main danger is Marine Nationale, who also scaled new heights at Cheltenham last month, while Solness will also be a threat if allowed a soft lead.
