VERDICT: Dual Gold Cup victor Galopin Des Champs can regain the winning thread for Willie Mullins and Paul Townend. Although beaten on his seasonal reappearance in the John Durkan Chase last month, the eight-year-old ran a huge race in the circumstances. Forced to make the running, the Timos gelding made a brave bid over a trip short of his best. Back over three-miles here, it will take a smart performance to lower his colours. Durkan winner Fact To File leapt to the head of the Gold Cup betting after taking the aforementioned race in impressive fashion. However, he faces a real test now, taking on the reigning champion on what is one of his favourite tracks. Grand National winner I Am Maximus is one that shouldn't be underestimated.
