Verdict

This race has a good history with the last two winners finishing 1-2 in this year’s Gold Cup. Given the conditions it will take a sound stayer to win this and while Terrefort sets the standard on form he faces some tough staying types here. The two mares are of interest although Mia’s Storm has to bounce back from an absence and a fall; that means MS PARFOIS gets the vote. Despite running over a mile further last time she has proved herself at this trip already in good company. Cheltenham handicap winner Coo Star Sivola makes plenty of appeal as he steps back up in grade.
  1. Ms Parfois
