C&D winner Mr Mole bounced back from a fall at the Cheltenham Festival with success at Newton Abbot last year, so it wouldn't be a huge shock if he left his latest effort behind and gave AP McCoy a fitting victory. Sprinter Sacre also bids to put a lacklustre festival showing behind him and would surely sweep these rivals aside if anywhere near his best. The former champion looks a shaky proposition, though, and SPECIAL TIARA doesn't appear to be facing much opposition for the lead, so he gets the vote. The Kayf Tara gelding ran a cracker when getting an easy time of things in front in the Champion Chase and a repeat of his bold front-running display at Kempton in December would make him tough to live with. The loveable veteran Somersby shouldn't be too far away and neither should God's Own, who has run some excellent races in defeat in recent weeks. Court Minstrel was closely matched with the latter at Aintree before a mistake at the last ended his challenge, so he might represent each-way value, and Vibrato Valtat is no forlorn hope back over this course and distance. Top Tip: SPECIAL TIARA Watch out for: SPRINTER SACRE.
