Verdict
GALWAY JACK began his current winning streak with a victory in last year’s renewal and landed a four-timer of hunter chases with last month’s course and distance success. He’s the one to beat in his current form. Pass The Hat and Johnny Og have a shout at the weights but neither arrive in great form for their return to regulation fences and Sam Cavallaro may prove a bigger threat on a recent third in one of these events at Cheltenham. Such A Legend finished runner-up on his last visit to this venue but Bambi Du Noyer has plenty to find with the likely favourite.
