Verdict

CAT TIGER impressed when readily scoring at Leicester in March and, given his ability to travel/jump fluently, he's an ideal sort for this test. He's preferred to his stablemate Sametegal, with Cheltenham runner-up Billaway also worthy of respect.

  1. CAT TIGER (FR)
  2. SAMETEGAL (FR)
  3. BILLAWAY (IRE)
