In depth
Verdict
Plenty of old favourites to chose from and Doberman (who has been called plenty of names in the past) looks to have a sound chance. He turned in a solid effort last time, in a race which nothing came from behind and if he can reproduce that, he looks sure to go close. Susan's Pride making her All-Weather debut, is an interesting runner. She hasn't won for over two years and has slipped down to a favourable mark now. Western Command would not be out of this at his best and this looks to be his easiest task for a while.
