A familiar tale with Messrs Mullins and Elliott looking likely to dominate with preference for the formers ALLAHO who showed a very smart level of form in his only start in France and Mullins record with French recruits combined with the fact he won with this with the top class Blackbow last year adds fuel to the fire. Fury Road cost a King's ransom after winning a point-to-point and is expected to be high class but he may need further before truly coming into his own hence him being considered second best. This is far from a two horse race however with Exit Poll one of several with the potential to give the top two a run for their money.
