Verdict

ROYALE PAGAILLE overcame a BHA mark of 163 in Haydock's Peter Marsh Chase last month so Venetia Williams' high-class chaser is fancied to claim his most prestigious prize yet en route to another crack at Cheltenham's Gold Cup. 2019 scorer Clan Des Obeaux rates a formidable threat on his best form but his stable's lull in form is a big concern. Eldorado Allen is the pick of the remainder.
