CARLOS DU FRUITIER took really well to his first attempt in such a race when winning the C&D Castel Royal Artillery Gold Cup latest, a race which sees him hold sway over a whole host of these. Mr Mercurial is an interesting contender with his hunter chase form looking plenty good enough to see him have a say whilst popular military specialist Rathlin Rose can not be dismissed by any means.
