A small but select field and cases can be made for each member of the sextet. ELDORADO ALLEN was a fortunate winner at Cheltenham last time and has to concede weight to a trio of exciting 4-y-os in Allmankind, Ga Law and Hitman. Conversely, there's real substance to his form and his sure-footed jumping will stand him in good stead round here in what is bound to be a strongly-run race.
