'He has some strong form in the book' - our panel share their weekend fancies

It’s Irish Gold Cup day at Leopardstown. Who wins the big one?

Phill Anderson, Irish spotlights He won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but I thought Asterion Forlonge was the one to take out of the King George. He was easily the best of those who were up with the overly strong pace prior to his latest spill and he had jumped well to that point. I’m hoping we'll see his future is at 3m-plus.

Fran Berry, RTV pundit Asterion Forlonge. You're taking a risk as you know what might happen and Leopardstown is left-handed, but the top few in the market arrive out of form and e's the only one who appears a bit of value. You might want to back him with faller insurance, though.

Lee Jones, Betfred You may need to take the faller insurance price, but I think Asterion Forlonge can win. There's plenty of pace in this race, which is not going to suit a few, and I can see him picking up the pieces.
