Verdict

Highly progressive in his novice season over fences, MONBEG GENIUS was undone by a mistake on his return at Ascot 4 weeks ago. The pick of his form last term, not least his third behind subsequent National hero Corach Rambler at Cheltenham in March, indicates he remains one to be interested in from this mark. Mahler Mission produced a solid comeback run at Carlisle and he's feared, along with Datsalrightgino. Complete Unknown and Midnight River complete the shortlist.

  1. MONBEG GENIUS (IRE)
  2. MAHLER MISSION (IRE)
  3. DATSALRIGHTGINO (GER)
