Willie Mullins has bagged the last six runnings of this Grade One novice chase and his fast improving GENTELMAN DE MEE looks very much the one to beat on the back of his emphatic success over Arkle hero Edwardstone at Aintree. Stablemate Blue Lord appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of Arkle runner-up Gabynako.
