Verdict
Doyannie is 2lb better off than when beaten a length by SHAW’S CROSS (NAP) here a month ago but the winner looked to have a bit in hand so can confirm the form and complete a double. Line Of Descent is rarely far away but is only 1-16 and will probably find at least one too good again. The Cathal Don lacks a recent run but is preferred to Ben Brody of the others.
