This is a race Gordon Elliott has won the last two renewals of with subsequent Grade 1 winners Labaik and Mengli Khan and his FELIX DESJY looks the one to be on now. He ran well in bumpers at the Cheltenham and Punchestown Festivals in the spring and made a strong impression when winning on his hurdling bow at Galway. There should be more to come. Quick Grabim can ensure he is kept honest now, though conceding 7lb may ultimately be his undoing. This is no two-horse race and don't be shocked if some of Aramon, Choungaya and Daybreak Boy are still in the mix at the death.
