Posted respectable effort when beaten 2l last month; has a course-and-distance record of three wins from 14 starts but not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win last March); a lot on his plate here and may have to settle for supporting role at best.

Verdict

This looks an open event - C&D winners Northern Warrior, Masterbling and Tchaikovsky are respected while Masterbling has been in somewhat patchy form. However, THE NAVY LARK is the one to side with. She is a distance winner and she knows how to win.
