Verdict

VAUCELET was a stylish winner of this contest a year ago and teed himself up well for a repeat success when runner-up at Downpatrick a fortnight ago. C&D scorer Law of Gold is a really likeable sort so should ensure David Christie's very useful Irish challenger doesn't have things all his own way. Secret Investor isn't the force of old but Paul Nicholls' veteran can still edge out Cheltenam de Vaige for minor honours.
