Formscan - Hallelujah U wasn't beaten far in the Queen's Vase and was third behind Scandinavia in the Bahrain Trophy, and his connections have won this race for the past two seasons with Burdett Road and East India Dock. That pair had previous jumping experience, though, something PRECIOUS MAN has from Auteuil, where he had subsequent winners behind when successful in May. He is just preferred to fellow French recruit Parchment, who impressed at Clairefontaine and has since joined David Pipe. Secret Force looked a natural at Punchestown and must be feared.
