He has been the star novice chaser in the UK this season and comes into this race following a superb Arkle Victory at Cheltenham, so it is very hard to oppose EDWARDSTONE. He is 3lbs clear on ratings and looks to have Gentleman de Mee to beat on the figures, but the form he has shown is far higher than that of Willie Mullins 6-year-old. With several front runners in the race, he should get an ideal setup with a strong pace to track and can deliver a superb ending to a fantastic season for Alan King and Tom Cannon.
