Verdict

GLENGOULY produced the biggest shock in the history of the December Gold Cup when making all from 7 lb out of the handicap, yet he was capable of even better form when with Willie Mullins and can confirm that performance wasn't a fluke. Twinjets is clearly thriving and rates the main threat, though the classy but fragile Jungle Boogie is an interesting runner starting out for a new yard and switched to a handicap for the first time.
