PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
This appears to be an intriguing contest with a number of former high class chasers potentially in the mix for this race. Given the impressive manner of his wide-margin winning performance at Oldtown earlier this month, GRAND JESTURE may be a tough sort to defeat if taking up this engagement. Former Cheltenham Gold Cup runner-up Sir Des Champs has bypassed a number of entries over the past number of weeks but if returning to something close to his best he is likely to a player. Valco De Touzaine was supported in the betting ahead of his points debut last Sunday at Punchestown before being withdrawn on his way to post, whilst Tyrella winner Home Farm and the capable BL Swagger complete a competitive potential line-up.
