Verdict

Enda Bolger has won six of the last seven including with Love Rory, who has landed the last two. He's still only a youngster in these terms and will give the obvious favourite ON HIS OWN plenty to think about. Willie Mullins' grand servant, beaten a short head by Lord Windermere in last year's Gold Cup and fifth this year, is making his debut over this banks course but he's in a different class to these rivals and can make a successful transition. Enda Bolger also runs Quantitativeeasing, a regular over these obstacles and at Cheltenham, and he'll make a bold bid along with Ballyboker Bridge, the only course and distance winner in the line up.
