Gordon Elliot won this last year with Samcro and Vision D'Honneur bids to give Gigginstown another win in the race after his impressive effort last time out at Punchestown. However, ARAMON couldn't have been much more impressive last time and with Grade 1 form already in the book, he's the selection in a wide-open renewal. Ruby Walsh seemingly prefers the claims of Klassical Dream who should improve for his course and distance success last time.
