FormscanBy Tom Weekes - GAELIC WARRIOR gained his first Cheltenham win in March and is a standout performer who is ideally suited by conditions. His right-jumping tendency was less evident last month but nonetheless was then registering just his second win from eight attempts racing left-handed, and is unbeaten from five run going in this direction. He has twice comfortably defeated Il Etait Temps and should uphold placings. Il Etait Temps was himself a fine top-level Aintree winner 21 days ago but doesn't have the selection's ability. Hercule Du Seuil received a minor bump at the start at Aintree last month but was well held and looks most likely to finish third. Mount Frisco is a busy five-year-old who has progressed with every recent run and while he can continue to climb the handicap ladder, is unlikely to trouble his rivals.
A novice steeplechase for five years old and upwards
