Race preview
It is hard to oppose CARTONNE, who appeared to have plenty in hand when winning over 2m3f at Doncaster a month ago and a 3lb rise for that success may underestimate the six-year-old. Master Malcolm could prove to be the main danger based on his Huntingdon double in the spring and he may have needed his recent reappearance when pulled up at Warwick, while Minella Choice and Ben Buie are others to note.
