Verdict
No less than 23 go to post for the finale and a tricky one it is as well. Nicky Henderson's Royal Rosa, owned by the Million In Mind Partnership is sure to have been well schooled as will Pipe's runner Kosovko. Farington Lodge has been working well at Jackdaws Castle and Mary Reveley does not send her geese to Newbury, hence Flame Of Zara should not be overlooked. However, experience does count for a lot in these events, and with in mind TEAMtalk reckon that Gazump will put one over on the others after his excellent third to Len Lungo's Brooklyn Breeze at Aintree recently.
