In depth
Verdict
Canadiane has progressed well over fences this term winning three of her last five starts and had today's main rivals Deferlant and Barren Lands well behind at Stratford earlier this month. Although the latter pair are marginally better off at the weights there is little reason to believe that either can reverse the form but with Barren Lands far from convincing over the larger obstacles, Deferlant is the obvious contender for the forecast.
