JANGO BAIE was ultimately well beaten in the Gold Cup but he was a clear second and a repeat of that effort should be enough here. The 2025 Arkle winner was arguably a bit unlucky in the King George previously and remains unexposed as a stayer. He was beaten in a Grade 1 novice here last term by Impaire Et Passe but he was outpaced over 2 1/2m that day before rallying. Over this longer trip he can reverse the form with that rival who must bounce back after disappointing in the Ryanair. The biggest danger may be from dual Grade 1 winner Spillane's Tower who bounced back to his best in the Cotswold Chase last time. That form took a small boost in the Gold Cup and he isn't fully exposed as a stayer in open company. He was withdrawn from the Gold Cup due to quick ground though so he will need some rain to arrive. Veteran Protektorat has a decent record here where he was a Grade 1 winner as a novice. He's been kept fresh for this after outclassing rivals at lower levels and isn't ruled out either though he is probably vulnerable to a less exposed rival. |

Winner of five G1s; yard won this last year; pulled up in Ryanair Chase (Grade 1) at Cheltenham latest where beaten early with race coming too soon; effective 2m-2m5f on soft and good; classy performer, still only an 8yo and a Grade 1 course winner who retains potential but must bounce back |

Winner of two G1s including 2025 Arkle; ran to form but no match for winner when second beaten 8l in Cheltenham Gold Cup (Grade 1) at Cheltenham latest; effective 2m-3m2f, acts on any but suited by decent ground; top class, unexposed over staying trips, can throw in odd error but progressing and fancied to avenge last year's novice defeat here to Impaire Et Passe. |

Back to form when winning Cotswold Chase (Grade 2) at Cheltenham by 3/4l last time; that form boosted in GC; effective 2 1/2-3m, needs cut; top class dual Grade 1 winning novice back to best latest, should remain competitive at top level in spring festivals though could do with some rain as skipped GC due to quick ground. |
