The sky is the limit for GALOPIN DES CHAMPS, who would be unbeaten over fences but for falling at the last with the race in his mercy at the Cheltenham Festival in March. His jumping has otherwise been pretty much foot-perfect since switched to fences and he is taken to provide Willie Mullins with yet another winner in this prestigious contest. Fakir d'Oudairies is taken to better his fourth-place finish in this last year and follow the selection home, ahead of Lifetime Ambition and Fury Road.
