This is likely to be another Willie Mullins domination, with LOSSIEMOUTH taken to confirm last month's Cheltenham superiority over Gala Marceau. The returning Zarak The Brave likely has more to offer and can make it another 1-2-3 in a Grade 1 juvenile this season for his all-conquering stable.

  1. LOSSIEMOUTH (FR)
  2. GALA MARCEAU (FR)
  3. ZARAK THE BRAVE (FR)
