EL FABIOLO has seemingly suffered from something of a confidence crisis over fences subsequent to the 2024 Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival, in which he was pulled up after a bid mistake at the fifth fence. Indeed, the 8-y-o has failed to complete in three of his five subsequent starts, but it could be that the return to this sphere will help restore his confidence and, if anywhere near his best, he should prove too good for Ballyadam and Spillane's Tower.
