Verdict

On the back of finishing runner-up in last year's Ryanair, Irish-raider FAKIR D'OUDAIRIES was utterly dominant when running out an 11-length winner of this race 12 months ago and, having looked as good as ever this time around (won Ascot Chase in February), he's the one to beat again. Funambule Sivola has proved a real success story for Venetia Williams, runner-up in the Champion Chase latest, and is feared, along with Sceau Royal and Saint Calvados.

  1. FAKIR D'OUDAIRIES (FR)
  2. FUNAMBULE SIVOLA (FR)
  3. SCEAU ROYAL (FR)
