Race Tip
ALLAHO (1) has won seven of his last eight and looked as good as ever when returning from a lengthy absence at Clonmel last month. He is a giant of a horse with a big stride and the extra distance on offer here should play to his strengths. The one to beat. Last years winner and dual course and distance victor BRAVEMANSGAME (2) defends his crown following his 14L demolition job one year ago. Work to do if he is to retain his title but not out of it by any means. SHISHKIN (5) is unbeaten at the track boasting four wins but needs to bounce back from a shaky reappearance at Ascot last month where he refused to race. THE REAL WHACKER (6) flopped on his comeback in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham but has to be feared going off his penultimate G1 success at Cheltenham.
