In depth
Verdict
Governor Daniel has been in top form of late will love the ground and he defeated Chalcedoney last time out who has franked the form since and he will be hard to beat despite top weight. Danteco is a bold jumping front runner who defeated It's All A Chance in good style last time but he was all out and he may struggle under a penalty. Orange Order is better over a shorter trip. Taakid has become disappointing of late but is well in on his best form
