Verdict

GLENGOULY produced the biggest shock in the history of the December Gold Cup when making all from 7 lb out of the handicap, yet he was capable of even better form when with Willie Mullins and can confirm that performance wasn't a fluke. Twinjets is clearly thriving and rates the main threat, though the classy but fragile Jungle Boogie is an interesting runner starting out for a new yard and switched to a handicap for the first time.

8	Useful chaser for Willie Mullins and back to that level when causing a surprise from 7 lb out of the handicap in December Gold Cup over C&D 19 days ago, making all. Races off 3 lb higher here so player with a repeat. 1st Pick 8 Glengouly (Fr) Jockey: Sean Bowen Trainer: Faye Bramley J: Sean Bowen T: Faye Bramley	98	-	-	-	23%

3	Perfect start to this season when landing a 7-runner contest at Fontwell and took a big step forward when following up at Newbury, again making all. Should make bold bid for hat-trick. 2nd Pick 3 Twinjets (Ire) Jockey: Harry Cobden Trainer: Paul Nicholls J: Harry Cobden T: Paul Nicholls	100	-	-	-	25%

1	Fragile but highly talented performer who was sixth in 2024 Gold Cup on only fourth chase start. Made a winning return at Ascot last season but pulled up in Ryanair over C&D only start since. Needs to be close to best to defy opening mark for new yard on return (has left Henry De Bromhead). 3rd Pick 1 Jungle Boogie (Ire) Jockey: Charlie Deutsch Trainer: Venetia Williams J: Charlie Deutsch T: Venetia Williams	96	-	-	-	6%
