    Race Analysis

    Course G1 winner JANGO BAIE (2) won among G2 company making seasonal return at Ascot (2m5f) before a close 0. 5L fourth in the 3m G1 King George VI Chase at Kempton. Career best effort last month when 8L second attempting the 3m2 1/2f G1 Cheltenham Gold Cup Chase. Top pick. IMPAIRE ET PASSE (1) found success in the 2m4f G1 Manifesto Novices Chase here last year. Landed the 2m3f G2 Red Mills Chase at Gowran Park before pulling up in the G1 Festival Trophy (Ryanair Chase) at Cheltenham. Respect as set to bounce back. SPILLANE'S TOWER (5) caught the eye during January when successful in the 3m1f G2 Cotswold Chase at Cheltenham. Makes appeal. PROTEKTORAT (4) and PIC D'ORHY (3) can battle for fourth.
