Verdict
Dora De Janeiro has gained both of her victories over timber on this track, the latest over 3m at this fixture last year, but hasn’t been running well over fences. Cancan’s recent good form includes a victory over the minimum at Ayr but she’s yet to prove she stays this far. LEESWOOD LILY was well beaten in this last year and her recent victories have been over 2m1f at Sedgefield. However, she stays this far and can complete a hat-trick, though Rubytwo’s latest run at Doncaster also puts her in the frame. Millarville had Topkapi Star 15 lengths behind over slightly shorter at Kelso and should have no problems confirming the form despite a 6lb rise.
