Formscan By Gary Carson - It was slightly surprising to see this as the target for FACT TO FILE but it would be foolish to question Willie Mullins and he obviously feels the Poliglote gelding can operate over the minimum trip. The eight-year-old travels strongly in his races and is a slick jumper. After a highly impressive win in the Ryanair at Cheltenham last month he can add another feather to his cap. The Champion Chase winner Marine Nationale will take a bit of beating though. Barry Connell’s charge was just edging things when left clear at the last in Cheltenham and was a deserved winner. He will be a big player again. Solness looks the likely front-runner and could make it a good test.
