Verdict

GREY DAWNING returned in some style when a facile winner of Haydock's Betfair Chase and this course scorer can further enhance his Gold Cup claims by taking this prestigious Grade 2. Last year's victor L'Homme Presse has an excellent record round here though and should ensure Dan Skelton's likeable grey doesn't have things all his own way, while Irish challenger Spillane's Tower shouldn't be underestimated either back in this sphere.

  1. GREY DAWNING (IRE)
  2. L'HOMME PRESSE (FR)
  3. SPILLANE'S TOWER (IRE)
