Verdict

Last season's Arkle winner JANGO BAIE has progressed again in open company this season, matching the form of his King George fourth when finishing an excellent second in last month's Gold Cup at Cheltenham. He wasn't at his very best at this meeting 12 months ago but rates the one to beat provided he's over those exertions. Impaire Et Passe disappointed in the Ryanair but his Aintree record stands at 2-2 and he can bounce back.
