Verdict

Having shaped well in the Paddy Power and December Gold Cup here upon joining Dan Skelton in 2024, MADARA arrives on the back of a very eye-catching second at Kempton 5 weeks ago and this will have been on his radar for some time. With refitted cheekpieces likely to put an extra edge on him he looks very interesting. Mclaurey has fewer miles on the clock than the selection and is feared for the stable who won this in 2021. Zurich and Will The Wise are just a couple of the others to consider.
