Verdict

It's hard to look beyond LE BATEAU, who found only Flinteur Sacre too good 10 months ago and has subsequently joined Nicky Henderson. He's fancied to go one better with ex-pointer Blumen Glory regarded as his biggest danger ahead of Trwyn Du.

  1. LE BATEAU
  2. BLUMEN GLORY (IRE)
  3. TRWYN DU (IRE)
