FormscanBy Gary Carson - GALOPIN DES CHAMPS is hard to oppose and should end his season on a high. The Timos gelding was a brilliant winner of the Cheltenham Gold Cup last month, powering clear after the last to beat Bravemansgame by seven lengths. The English raider got the go ahead the other day to take his place here, after ownership issues, but it's hard to see him turning the tables. Aside from his mishap at Cheltenham last year Galopin Des Champs hasn't really been seriously challenged since going over fences and looks a class apart. Envoi Allen bounced back to form when landing the Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham and stays this trip, having won at Down Royal earlier in the campaign. He's a very talented animal on his day but it would be a bit of a shock if he was able to lower the colours of Galopin Des Champs.
A steeplechase for five years old and upwards
