Verdict

KATATE DORI didn't enjoy the rub of the green when an eye-catching sixth in Newbury's Coral Gold Cup last time and is given a confident vote to get off the mark for the season off a 2 lb lower mark. Herakles Westwood rates a big threat though on the back of a very good recent fourth here, while Irish challenger Shannon Royale is also weighted to have a say. Jasmin de Grugy should build on his Rehearsal fourth after a break and completes the shortlist.
