In depth

Verdict

Last year's first three, Ptit Zig, Alex De Larredya and Blue Dragon meet again and each has beaten the other in turn subsequently. Paul Nicholls' charge returned here in November and could only finish third to last year's runner-up and the winner was well beaten by Blue Dragon over a much shorter trip in April. He was also only fifth when SHANESHILL came with a storming late run to catch L'Ami Serge over an extended 2m5f here and it's the latter, who will enjoy the longer trip, who can take this for Willie Mullins and Ruby Walsh.
