PROTEKTORAT acquitted himself really well behind A Plus Tard in the Cheltenham Gold Cup last month and is fancied to maintain his 100% record at this course. Conflated proved his Irish Gold Cup success was no fluke in Ryanair Chase (looked sure to be placed before falling 2 out) and rates the chief threat, whilst the admirable Eldorado Allen is also expected to make his presence felt in what looks a really competitive renewal of this Grade 1 contest.
