Verdict

Last season's Gold Cup runner-up SANTINI goes toe-to-toe with the admirable Native River (who won this last year) in a mouth-watering contest. The first-named has a cracking record fresh and gets the marginal vote to prevail, with Frodon very much on the radar following a huge run to defy a mark of 164 on his return at Cheltenham.
