Verdict

Jonjo O'Neill's MONBEG GENIUS is a young chaser firmly on the up and looks weighted to gain his biggest prize yet having run a cracker when a clear third to Corach Rambler in Cheltenham's Ultima last time. Irish challenger Malina Girl is another novice with better days ahead of her and Gavin Cromwell's mare is feared most, with last year's runner-up Kitty's Light, hat-trick seeking Famous Bridge and Your Own Story completing the shortlist.

  1. MONBEG GENIUS (IRE)
  2. MALINA GIRL (IRE)
  3. KITTY'S LIGHT
