VERDICT: Gaelic Warrior gained his first Cheltenham win in March and is a standout performer who is ideally suited by conditions. Everything went right for him at Cheltenham as he completely left behind his Leopardstown no-show, and he has twice comfortably defeated Il Etait Temps, form which he should confirm here. Il Etait Temps was himself a fine winner at the top level at Aintree 21 days ago and cannot be completely overlooked. 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.
