Limited Irish representation this year; they had half the field last year and landed a 1-2 but they do at least have a good chance of landing the winner again via DELTA WORK who hasn’t put a foot wrong over fences having already placed a Festival win on his jumping CV. The biggest threats are likely to come from two of the British contenders with the second and third from the Grade 1 Kauto Star at Kempton Topofthegame and Santani meeting again. The latter has had a recent injury scare but there are no such problems for the Nicholls' yard with their charge although he’s yet to win over fences. Mister Malarky is a lively outsider who could trouble the principals.
