FormscanBy Mark Nunan - Class act in the race GENTLEMAN DU MEE is not always the most reliable and has stamina to prove over 2m4f but a sharp, flat track such as this will help in that respect. Second of three finishers in the Champion Chase at Cheltenham, the Saint Des Saints gelding has had his last eight races in Grade One contests and is twice a winner at the highest level. Visionarian was a very capable good-ground performer for Peter Fahey and is interesting after a break on his first start for in-form Gavin Cromwell. Galway Plate winner Ash Tree Meadow and last year’s Ryanair fourth French Dynamite, who is best in at the weights, have claims on their best form.
A steeplechase for five years old and upwards
