    Verdict

    ROAD TO RICHES was pulled up at Fairyhouse last time but that was a rare disappointing performance. A high-class chaser in his pomp, with a Gold Cup third and a Grand National sixth on his CV, his previous effort when a fine third in last season's Aintree Foxhunters behind Top Wood sets the standard. Hopefully, he's recovered from whatever ailed him in Ireland and can land an 11th success under Rules. Course and distance winner and recent scorer Southfield Vi, rates the danger on the formbook, with Herbert Park, Dineur and I'm All Set expected to be fighting it out for the minor placings.
