Formscan  - PROTEKTORAT remains clear at the weights despite carrying a penalty for winning the Grade 1 Ryanair Chase in fine style at Cheltenham in March. Dan Skelton's high-class chaser will be sharper for last month's reappearance and could prove tough to beat at this level. Ginny's Destiny had the measure of Djelo (third) when runner-up in the Turners at the Cheltenham Festival and rates a threat on that form, while Minella Drama, a Grade 2 winner at Aintree on his return to action, is preferred to Nickle Back of the remainder.
