Verdict

A fascinating race to form a view on given MAJBOROUGH will polarise opinion but he showed at Leopardstown what he can do when in a rhythm and he's taken to cast aside a big off day at Cheltenham and regain the winning thread. Stablemate Il Etait Temps took advantage of the selection's flop in the Queen Mother Champion Chase and is a rock-solid opponent, while Marine Nationale is also seriously talented and fresh for this.

  1. MAJBOROUGH (FR)
  2. IL ETAIT TEMPS (FR)
  3. MARINE NATIONALE (IRE)
