In depth

Verdict

Pena Dorada's jumping is still a little sketchy and he looks to be facing a stiff task under top weight. Carrietau has been knocking on the door again lately however and is preferred to Harry Flashman, who has been below his best for a while, and the returning Dystonia's Revenge. Spirit Of Barbados hasn't shown much over fences so far and Chicago Alley looks a light of former days but CITY OF DORAL can certainly be given a chance if his Sligo run has blown away a few cobwebs and he gets a tentative vote.
