In depth

Verdict

Clive Cox can get them ready and GANAS may be good enough to land this on his return. The Doncaster winner finished a close-up third over C&D in September and won't need to improve much to come out best here. Last Sovereign couldn't follow-up his C&D victory at Wolverhampton last time though he wasn't beaten far while Sulis Minerva had Sutton Veny behind when fourth at Windsor last time. Hinton Admiral and the returning duo of Silenzio and Regal Approval are others capable of going close on their day though Lastkingofscotland has done his recent winning in lower grade races.
