Verdict

ENERGUMENE missed Cheltenham but that could prove to be a blessing in disguise as he contests a pretty thin-looking Grade 1 here. He's a fine prospect and should take all the beating if ready to roll. C&D winner Captain Guinness might be the one for the forecast if settling better than he did in the Arkle.
