Verdict

RARE MIDDLETON failed to go on as was perhaps hoped last season but he's had a wind operation since last seen and, given the yard he represents, fitness is no concern on reappearance. Our Champ will doubtless be popular on the back of last week's Cheltenham romp, with Altobelli completing the shortlist.

  1. RARE MIDDLETON
  2. OUR CHAMP (IRE)
  3. ALTOBELLI (IRE)
