Formscan - With his Gold Cup conqueror Gaelic Warrior not bidding for back-to-back wins in this race, JANGO BAIE is the logical choice after his gallant second in last month's Cheltenham Festival showpiece. With the world at his feet as an improving seven-year-old, Nicky Henderson's charge is in the right age bracket to firmly establish himself as a stayer of the highest order. With his illustrious connections targeting Spillane's Tower at this rather than the Grand National on Saturday, the dual Grade 1 winner can provide a stern test for the selection. Protektorat, Impaire Et Passe and Pic D'Orhy all have oodles of class so this is by no means a two-horse race.
