Verdict

FARCEUR DU LARGE can become the third horse in succession to complete the Grand Military and Royal Artillery Gold Cup double. Broken Halo was the one who achieved that feat last year and can give Jamie Snowden's 9-y-o most to do if avoiding the jumping errors which have proved his undoing here so far this season.
