Fact To File was absolutely imperious there in the Ryanair Chase. 

He was weak in the market but banished any doubts with a beautifully smooth performance under Mark Walsh. 

What a form boost for tomorrow’s Gold Cup favourite Galopin Des Champs, who has finished ahead of him the last twice.

 

Late market moves

Il Est Francais has been supported at 7-2
