Verdict

The vote goes to POPPA POUTINE, who was by no means disgraced in a more competitive race than this at Cheltenham last time and he remains on a workable mark. Irish trainer Gavin Cromwell's record with chasers on these shores is impressive and his representative Stumptown is greatly respected on the back of his decisive Thurles success. Zhiguli is third choice ahead of Your Own Story.

  1. POPPA POUTINE (IRE)
  2. STUMPTOWN (IRE)
  3. ZHIGULI (IRE)
