Formscan - Grey Dawning beat Ginny's Destiny (second) and Colonel Harry (sixth) in the Turners at the Cheltenham Festival last month and he might be worth more than his winning distance of two lengths suggests. He is fancied to confirm his superiority over those rivals, but could find IL ETAIT TEMPS too good. Willie Mullins' six-year-old could only manage third when fancied for the Arkle, but the step back up in distance may help his jumping this time around and it would be no surprise to see him take a step forward.
