Verdict

This looks set up for IMPERIAL PRESENCE to lead these from the front and after a good display at Newbury last time, the others can't afford to give him too much rope. He jumped well there and looks a horse on the up. San Benedeto faces a stiffer task here but in such good form, can't be discounted, whilst the ever-tricky Champagne At Tara can hold on for the bronze.
