Verdict

GALOPIN DES CHAMPS confirmed the big impression he had made in the Martin Pipe when following up in a Grade 1 event at Punchestown in April, so he has to be considered the one to beat on this switch to chasing. His stablemate Blue Sari commands plenty of respect following an eye-catching start to his chasing career at Navan, with Fury Road another to take seriously.
