Formscan - It is difficult to look past the progressive STAGE STAR, who would have won the Paddy Power Gold Cup here by further but for a blunder at the last. Expected to be sharper in the jumping department, the classy eight-year-old can see off some seasoned handicappers en route to a likely tilt at the Ryanair at the Festival. Richmond Lake continues to go from strength to strength and arrives on a five-timer, while Shakem Up'arry shaped well for a long way over over further in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury.
