Verdict

A few of these arrive with question marks against them so this looks a good opportunity for ANIMAL to quickly resume winning ways and bag a second C&D success. Course-scorer Hudson de Grugy is feared most if, as expected, building on his reappearance third here over a much shorter trip, while the consistent duo Copperhead and Special Acceptance need factoring in too.
