Dourado has run well around here on several occasions. Though on a long losing run and the senior runner in this, Patrick Chamings’ entire is no forlorn hope having just come up short last time at Kempton. Twice successful over course and distance last month, Intercessor handles all types of going and should be thereabouts again despite a further 3lb rise. Canagat looks held on the form book but Roman Dynasty is a possibility, despite his big weight, and Sly Madam has coped well with a bump up the ratings. LA FEILE has been very consistent this year and hasn’t travelled down from North Yorkshire without good reason so gets the nod.
