Formscan - Returning to a left-handed course and the scene of his 2022 success in the Brown Advisory are key factors in the favour of L'HOMME PRESSE, who also ran a blinder when fourth in the Gold Cup here last March. A commendable third, despite jumping to the left, in the King George at Kempton on Boxing Day should have set him up nicely for another bold showing. Savills Chase third Gentlemansgame is an obvious threat, while the admirable veteran Delta Work has enough course experience to suggest he is still capable of causing an upset if things go his way.
