Formscan - In this fascinating contest, marginal preference is for DOLOS, who chased home top-class stablemate Greaneteen in the Haldon Gold Cup. Although no match for the winner, the Paul Nicholls-trained gelding pulled 14 lengths clear of the third and now competes off 1lb lower. Last year's winner Editeur Du Gite boasts an impressive record at this venue and demands the utmost respect, especially if getting an easy lead. The handicapper has loosened his grip on Third Time Lucki and he may be able to bounce back from a lacklustre effort at Ascot.
