PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
Dorking Cock was quite an emphatic winner of this race 12 months ago, but the nine-year-old comes into this years race having pulled-up at the recent Cheltenham Festival and it may be worth siding with BOLD ENOUGH. He was one of the easiest winners of the Barbour Cup when defeating the potentially re-opposing Aloneamongmillions just last Sunday. He could get his fourth win on the bounce. Stablemate Ultimate Optimist gives David Christie a strong hand in this, whilst the returning grey Diese Des Bieffes could also be a factor if putting his best foot forward.
