I'd have to go Clan Des Obeaux. He's got the form around Kempton but I also liked his run the last day at Haydock. I think Santini is interesting but it's Clan Des Obeaux for me.

Now that the ground is good to soft I'd really fancy Lostintranslation. He's got good Gold Cup form and I think Kempton on better ground will play to his strengths. He's still got a lot more to offer and he wasn't quite himself the last day with the ground. He seems well at home. Clan Des Obeaux is a different horse at Kempton but I fancy Lostintranslation on that ground.
