This race has eluded Gordon Elliott so far but RIVIERE D'ETEL gets the vote to put that stat right and give his mare a first success at the highest level having bumped into the top-notch Ferny Hollow on St. Stephen's Day. She receives weight all round and looks the way to go. Willie Mullins' trio are all unbeaten over fences and his Blue Lord is preferred to Saint Sam for the forecast spot.
