Forecasts

Galopin Des Champs (1/3), Fastorslow (7/2), I Am Maximus (14/1), Conflated (20/1)

Verdict

GALOPIN DES CHAMPS looked back to his scintillating best here over Christmas and if in a similar mood again he should turn the tables on Fastorslow, who has inflicted 2 Punchestown defeats on last year's Cheltenham Gold Cup hero.

  1. GALOPIN DES CHAMPS (FR)
  2. FASTORSLOW (FR)
  3. CONFLATED (IRE)
