Verdict

MONBEG GENIUS had his winning run ended when third in the Ultima at Cheltenham but he couldn't have shaped much better and he remains one to keep on side for the coming season. Beauport's first season over fences didn't go as well as might have been expected but he's likely to be ready here, while Two For Gold must be respected given his record here.

  1. MONBEG GENIUS (IRE)
  2. BEAUPORT (IRE)
  3. TWO FOR GOLD (IRE)
