The powerhouse yards as well represented here. Gordon Elliott has Jury Duty, Timiyan and Rogue Angel – in that order – all likely to get involved, while Willie Mullins will be full of hope that Blazer can mount a big challenge despite fears over the trip on testing ground, while Townshend also has a stamina question over him. A Rated and Vieux Morvan are two that can improve but this is an interesting bit of placing from David Pipe with DELL' ARCA. He's been in excellent form on the level and over timber this summer and his Cheltenham run in April is the sort of form that could take him a long way in this race.
- Dell' Arca
- Blazer
