In depth
Verdict
A wide-open affair, but Donna's Double is well-handicapped on the best of her form and gets the vote here. Mehmaas is also back on a winning slot along with Den'S-Joy and Hormuz, the latter capable of putting in a big one every now and again. Thunderclap looked to be coming into form last time at Goodwood, has travelled a long way for this and Kevin Darley has been booked. Shifty is back to near a winning mark. Kirkham Abbey comes here in great heart but is nine-pounds higher than for his Brighton win. Overall, though, in a tricky affair, we'll go for Donna's Double.
