The veteran BENANDONNER is holding his form well and there's no reason why he can't come out best again having won over track and trip in February. But there are plenty of others with claims including Olivers Mount and Zammy, who were separated by less than a length when the former won here last month. Indian Violet is another recent course and distance winner to consider while Carrera and Warbond are closely matched on their earlier placed form at the track.
