Verdict

Last years winner TIGER ROLL impressed in winning his prep race and he can register a second victory in this event ahead of Auvergnat who looked an improved performer when winning over regulation fences in first time blinkers last time out. French raider Urgent De Gregaine finished runner-up in this race 12 months ago and he looks capable of finishing third while it would be no surprise to see the veteran Bless The Wings return to form having run well here in the past.
