Verdict

It's very hard to oppose prolific scorer SOBER GLORY, who enhanced his form when finishing a fine second in last month's Supreme at Cheltenham, a better jump at the last likely to have made the winner work harder still. He can prove too strong for Baron Noir who finished 2 places behind the selection on that occasion. Sinnatra is another with his best days ahead of him.

  1. SOBER GLORY (IRE)
  2. BARON NOIR (IRE)
  3. SINNATRA (IRE)
