GAELIC WARRIOR was back to the sort of form he showed when landing last season's Arkle when running out a good winner of the Grade 1 Bowl at Aintree 3 weeks ago. He looks to hold sound claims again and earns the vote back at this shorter trip. Pic d'Orhy comes here fresh from a second consecutive success in the Ascot Chase and he may emerge as the chief danger. Topham winner Gentleman de Mee rates next best.
