HANOVERIAN KING caused an upset over C&D in September after a gelding operation. He's been raised 5 lb but it might be the case that he's a much improved horse since that procedure. He's chanced to get the double up today. Vincenzo Coccotti is at the veteran stage of his career now but he still knows how to win so will be a threat. Eljaytee could improve to take a hand too.
