FormscanBy Tom Weekes - SHANTREUSSE remains on a favourable-looking mark having blundered away his chances in Aintree's Topham Chase in April. Well suited by testing ground, he nonetheless disappointed in the Thyestes Chase in January but bounced back with a good runner-up effort at Naas the following month and ran a fine race at Aintree, considering his bad blunder at the fifth-last fence. Kings Halo disappointed in the aforementioned Naas race but had a veterinary excuse as he returned lame. He was well beaten on his seasonal reappearance at Killarney but that was at an inadequate distance and was over hurdles and, last season, had the profile of a progressive type. Invictus Machin is 7lb higher than when winning at Kilbeggan in August.
