    In depth

    Verdict

    Charming Grace looks to have little chance against the three previous winners in this. Warrantor was in the process of running a big race in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham until a bad blunder four out caused his saddle to slip. But that will have taken plenty out of him and Spirit Of Shankly represents last year's winning stable and came good at Towcester at the fifth time of asking over fences. CAPARD KING is preferred, however, as he'll appreciate the better ground and looked a nice prospect when winning here in November. He was out of his depth in the Kim Muir at The Festival.
