With Tigerburningbright looking distinctly moderate and Keep Smiling one of the lesser lights in Henrietta Knight's stable this really should lie between the other three runners in the race. Glenfarclas Boy has more to do than when winning at Perth last time under his penalty and, while Rainbow Dance, the mount of Tony McCoy, has to be respected, it will be a surprise if this does not go to Gentle Rivage. Admittedly the Nigel Twiston-Davies-trained gelding has become expensive to follow and makes his seasonal reappearance but he will never have a better opportunity to open his account over fences than this. He gets the TEAMtalk vote.
