Verdict

SCEAU ROYAL was beaten by Altior in the latest running of this in 2019 (and on the 3 other occasions that they've met), but is taken to emerge on top this time. He was travelling at least as well as eventual winner Put The Kettle On when nearly brought down 3 out in the Champion Chase, a race he may well have won granted better luck. Altior has something to prove on the back of his Kempton defeat.
