Death Duty has been here three times and won the lot. However, Gordon Elliott, who is mob-handed here, has better chances particularly with Aforementioned, who looked very progressive when landing the Munster National from Portmore Lough though is up 9lb as a consequence. The stable's Cheb De Kerviniou, three-times a winner in France, was placed in two major staying handicaps in the spring and looks well enough weighted to give a good account, a remark that certainly applies to THE JAM MAN. From a yard in form, he won his last two starts over fences back in 2019 and has been in excellent form on the Flat recently, scoring at York last month. He'll be difficult to beat though Discordantly could hardly have won more easily at Galway and last year's runner-up Fitzhenry looks to have been primed to go one better.
