Verdict
Doyannie has been beaten since winning over a shorter trip here when The Cathal Don finished runner-up. The latter re-opposes on much more favourable terms and is fancied to turn the tables but DINDIN makes most appeal. David Pipe’s charge took advantage of a slide down the weights when successful at Wincanton last month and remains on a winning mark despite a 3lb rise. Big 'n Better won at Fontwell when last in action back in 2021 and may prove best of the rest.
