Verdict

None of these can be ruled out but BLUEKING D'OROUX holds just the edge on form so is fancied to repeat his success in this event 12 months ago. Jeremy Scott's mare Golden Ace remains unbeaten in this sphere and rates a big threat though, while Irish challenger Colonel Mustard and Nicky Henderson's progressive Lucky Place are firmly in the picture too in this cracking Grade 2 contest.
