Verdict

This race revolves around Cheltenham Gold Cup hero MINELLA INDO, who will be very hard to beat if resuming in anything like the same form as when landing jump racing's blue riband event in March. He won on his reappearance last season and there's no real reason to believe that he won't be ready to roll first time out again this time round. Galvin is second choice ahead of the admirable Frodon.

  1. MINELLA INDO (IRE)
  2. GALVIN (IRE)
  3. FRODON (FR)
