In depth
Verdict
Mighty Strong looked unlucky not to prevail last time and is the TEAMtalk selection to gain compensation. Nicky Henderson's charge looked all set to prevail when sweeping to the front three out at Market Rasen late last month but ruined his chance with a blunder close home before rallying strongly only to be denied in a photograph. Canadiane is a reliable and consistent sort who should run his race once again but may struggle to concede weight all round while Pealings lacks a recent outing and Stanmore now looks high enough in the weights.
