In depth
Verdict
Trevelyn's Corn has twice finished second over course and distance but is now 0-10 over fences. Jimmy Rabbitte has also placed at the track, though that was back in 2020. DOYENS DE ANTE will have to defy a further 7lb rise if he is to complete the hat-trick but still looks the one to beat with West Lawn pulled up over 3m here when favourite on his chasing bow.
