Verdict

Willie Mullins has won the last 2 runnings and may hold the key again, with the Paul Townend-ridden GAMIN ORIGINAL, who was running a big race when tipping up in this contest 12 months ago, preferred to stablemate Hubrisko. Gordon Elliott newcomer Riaan would also enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong.

  1. GAMIN ORIGINAL (FR)
  2. HUBRISKO (FR)
  3. RIAAN (IRE)
