The standard is set by Dancing On My Own and Entoucas who have both finished second in similar contests of late but they could both be bumping into a high class recruit in Grade One entered newcomer VISION D'HONNEUR for the all-conquering Elliott/Gigginstown team so he gets the vote here. Also interesting on his Irish debut is Klassical Dream for Willie Mullins who was fourth in a French Grade One last year so he too could prove smart and is highly respected.
