Race Tip

ENERGUMENE can repeat last year's win in this contest, having also won the Queen Mother Champion Chase on his previous start. If anything, the Tony Bloom-owned gelding was even more impressive at the festival this time round, travelling strongly throughout before easily disposing of his rivals. Granted a clear round, it is difficult to see the nine-year-old getting beat. Stablemate Gentleman De Mee could be the one to lay down the biggest threat. An all-the-way winner at Aintree last April, he was hugely impressive at the Dublin Racing Festival in February but was a late absentee from Cheltenham. When on song, he is one of the best two-mile chasers in training. Blue Lord can complete a clean sweep for trainer Willie Mullins by taking the third spot.
