        Verdict

        Dun An Doras was in top form just before Christmas and is chosen to land this at the expense of Latitude and Delaware Bay. Jimmy Frost's eight-year-old has been a model of consistency and was successful for the first time over fences when beating San Marco in great style at Leicester. Today's opponents appear to be a moderate bunch so another victory looks on the cards. Best of the rest could be Latitude who was a winner in France and is now with the Martin Pipe stable. He will no doubt be well prepared for his British debut although he can put in the odd dodgy round, he will not have to be a world beater to take this. Delaware Bay is also worth a mention after being pitted against Cheltenham fancy Our Vic last time, he will be more at home against these rivals. However Dun An Doras looks the safest prospect here and is given the nod.
