Verdict

ADJALI is expected to be hard to beat for last year's winning trainer Nicky Henderson who has won four of the last six renewals of this race. Only narrowly denied last time out in a Grade 1, he rates as the most likely winner now returned to more suitable ground. Fakir D'Oudairies makes some appeal at likely bigger odds while Our Power rates as the main danger to the selection after his impressive success at Newbury last time.
