GRAND VOYAGE scored here in November and appeals as still being on a fair mark kept to mid-range trips, so he is taken to notch his second win over fences. Dubai Days has been working himself back to form and has dropped back to his last winning mark, while Donna's Double remains open to improvement on the back of his recent course success.
