DUC DES GENIEVRES was behind his stablemate Scarpeta in the Ballymore at the Cheltenham Festival but can get revenge on this occasion. He is far less exposed and was held up further back in a race that only went a steady gallop. He had to do more running to get himself into contention and as a result, had less left up the hill. Blow By Blow was an impressive winner at the Festival but he had a soft lead there which he may not get now.
