Formscan  - Protektorat hasn't been tried over 3m for a couple of years but is proven over the distance at the top level and his official rating of 165 suggests he has every chance of being heavily involved. However, Paul Nicholls has his runners in fine form just now and PIC D'ORHY looks an ideal type to relish a new trip to grant his trainer a sixth winner in this prestigious event. Last year' victor The Real Whacker is another serious player with a tongue-tie and cheekpieces combination tried.
