FormscanBy Donal Murphy - A top-class renewal of this long-standing contest. With eleven wins from seventeen starts, GALVIN boasts the most impressive strike rate. After winning on his return to action at Punchestown earlier this month, the Gordon Elliott trained seven-year-old has race fitness on his side. A dour stayer, he might be able to take the scalp of Minella Indo and Frodon. Minella Indo was successful on his return to action at Wexford twelve months ago but faces a much tougher task now. The Cheltenham Gold Cup hero may just need the run. The same can be said of Frodon. He sprang a surprise in the King George at Kempton on St Stephen's Day and finished fifth in the Gold Cup at Cheltenham. He rounded off his season by winning the Oaksey Chase at Sandown and is likely to come on plenty for this run. Fourth in 2019 and fifth twelve months ago, Delta Work will probably come up short once again.
