Verdict

The Noel Meade-trained ROAD TO RESPECT won this contest a year ago before going on to enjoy an excellent season in top-tier company. He won the big chase at Leopardstown over Christmas and finished a fine four in the Cheltenham Gold Cup. Just seven-years-old, he is likely still on the upgrade and can land this again. Snow Falcon delivered in the Kerry National last time and needs serious respect as another with potentially more to come while Sub Lieutenant cannot be overlooked on these terms. Dual Grade 1 winner Outlander isn't getting any easier to predict and likely needs to see some more rain in the ground.
