FormscanBy Donal Murphy - ROAD TO RESPECT claimed this prestigious contest twelve months ago and he might be able to repeat the feat now. The Noel Meade trained eight-year-old runs well fresh and is a proven performer at the highest level. He did finish behind Clan Des Obeaux when they clashed at Aintree in April, but he can be excused for that performance which came less than a month after his third place finish in the Ryanair at Cheltenham. Sean Flanagan has opted to partner the selection over fellow Meade runner Snow Falcon. This admirable twelve time winner landed a Grade 2 at Gowran on his most recent start and it would come as little surprise if he managed to follow-up now. Delta Work was far from impressive when winning on his seasonal debut here twelve months ago and while he has won three Grade 1's, he may just need this run. The aforementioned Clan Des Obeaux won the King George at Kempton last Christmas and hasn't done a whole lot wrong since. He was beaten on his return to action at Haydock last season and is another who may just benefit from the run. Alpha Des Obeaux completes the line-up and while he is the outsider of the field, he has plenty of class about him and can't be totally dismissed.
