In depth

Verdict

On form, the four to focus on here are Monty's Tag, Folly Road, Friar Waddon and Lord Kilpatrick. Monty's Tag is consistent but has a 294-day absence to overcome. Folly Road, runner up in the 2000 Whitbread Gold Cup, has decent winning form under Rules to his name, although he is not the easiest of rides these days. He is, however, still entered for the Martell Cognac Grand National and the Attheraces Gold Cup (formerly the Whitbread). Maybe he'll go well for his lady rider. Friar Waddon is steadily progressing following his return in January after a nine-month absence and should be competitive in this event. However, for the selection, we go for Lord Kilpatrick. A winning pointer in Ireland, he can put a disappointing run in the Grand Military Gold Cup (on soft going) behind him and display his true colours here. Of the others, Cahors can maybe improve on what he has so far shown.
