METKAYINA shaped up well in the face of a stiffish task when fifth in the Dawn Run at the Festival 5 weeks ago, shaping as if ready for this step back up in trip in the process. She gets the narrow vote to come out on top, with Sainte Tartare representing the Willie Mullins' stable and La Pinsonniere others to consider. The Great Nudie and Jubilee Alpha complete the shortlist.
