Verdict

Team Mullins come out with guns firing in the day one feature and the noises from Closutton have all been positive in regards to DOUVAN. He was moving very well at Cheltenham last month before his fall and, on that evidence, could be hard to stop now. In the same colours comes Min, second at both Cheltenham and Aintree recently, is respected back over 2m but he faces a third hard race in a short space of time, enough to sway the vote. Un De Sceaux may find things unfolding too quickly down in trip whilst Special Tiara isn't seeing his races out like he once could. Ordinary World might perhaps run into the money at a big price.
  1. Douvan
