Verdict

GERRI COLOMBE enhanced his reputation when taking his record under Rules to 7-7 in the Scilly Isles at Sandown last month, jumping soundly and coming out on top in game fashion. Very much the type to be suited by the return to further, he can make a bold bid to keep his 100% record intact. The Real Whacker, an impressive dual winner over fences here already this term, rates a big threat though. Sir Gerhard, twice a winner at the Festival, and Galia des Liteaux complete the shortlist.

  1. GERRI COLOMBE (FR)
  2. THE REAL WHACKER (IRE)
  3. SIR GERHARD (IRE)
