Al Boum Photo (10/3), Santini (5/1), Delta Work (5/1), Clan Des Obeaux (7/1), Kemboy (8/1), Lostintranslation (10/1), Presenting Percy (10/1), Bristol De Mai (18/1), Monalee (20/1), Chris's Dream (20/1), Real Steel (50/1), Elegant Escape (66/1)

Strong representation from Ireland who have won three of the last four renewals with Al Boum Photo bidding to become the first since Best Mate to retain his crown. He’s sure to go close off the back of the same preparation as last year when beating five of today’s rivals. Clan Des Obeaux a dual King George winner has been given a break since his latest triumph and he looks the most likely to reverse last year’s form. DELTA WORK has decisions over several of the other Irish contenders this year, his form looks rock solid in a bid to give his trainer a second Gold Cup. Santini a place in front of the selection in the RSA last year will provide a tough challenge having proved himself last time.
