        Verdict

        A Gold Cup winner on view albeit in the form of Jackie Jenner, who is the groom to Cheltenham Gold Cup winner, Best Mate.. We believe that Silence Reigns looks very difficult to get away from - with Jabiru, Shu Gaa and Blackberry Way playing for places. Paul Nicholls' charge was a useful performer under rules and can atone for a costly blunder that snatched defeat from the jaws of victory at Fontwell on Sunday. Jabiru is a consistent enough stick and while the form of his recent third to Kestick reads well, on the official figures, he has plenty to find. Shu Gaa looked revitalised by a wind operation and while it is asking a lot for him to come back first time out, Chris Goulding has managed the feat in the past. Blackberry Way possesses ability although it has been none-to-evident during this term's efforts. Silence Reigns is selected albeit at very cramped odds.
