In depth
Verdict
Just Kate was most impressive at Fontwell last time and can make it back to back wins at the expense of White Dove and Alva Glen. Heather Dalton's charge got the better of the favourite Global Challenge in that longer event. Today's trip shouldn't be a problem as she was leading at the third from home and she will take all the beating today. White Dove also comes here on the back of a recent victory, she had to fight all the way to the line to beat Princess Grec and another gutsy performance is expected. Alva Glen is also worth a mention, he has shown promise in two better events this season and should be just about spot on for this. Tweli is another that may go close at a big price, however Just Kate is lightly-raced and open to improvement and gets our vote.
