Race preview
After finishing second in this race 12 months ago, CAPTAIN GUINNESS had the unenviable task of chasing home Energumene and Jonbon at Cheltenham and Sandown respectively. He capitalised on a drop in class when making a successful return in the Fortria and can deservedly register a breakthrough Grade 1 triumph now. A Willie Mullins quartet stands in his way, with Paul Townend on the returning Gentleman De Mee, although progressive mare Dinoblue might be the champion trainer's best hope. Dysart Dynamo and Saint Roi were behind the selection at Navan.
