Verdict

A maximum field in what looks a very deep renewal. NO DRAMA THIS END was behind a few of these in the Champion Bumper a year ago but has passed each test over hurdles with flying colours and can provide Paul Nicholls with an overdue first win in this race. There are a plethora of Irish dangers, notably Ballyfad and King Rasko Grey, while Sober brings a different profile to the table.
