Race Tip

Dual Cheltenham Gold Cup hero GALOPIN DES CHAMPS (4) is a Willie Mullins star chaser who can claim a third straight success in this prestigious G1 and confirm his superiority over FACT TO FILE (3) on their course and distance G1 Savills Chase match-up. The latter beat the first mentioned tackling a shorter trip in the G1 John Durkan Memorial Punchestown Chase during November and rates the obvious threat. EMBASSY GARDENS (2) looked good winning the G3 Savills New Years Day Chase at Tramore upon return to action. Could be one to get involved in the placings. MONTY'S STAR (10) filled the runner-up spot on that occasion and makes for plenty of each-way appeal with that outing under his belt.
