Cases can be made for most, but the vote goes to OKAVANGO DELTA, who won over C&D in November and ran at least as well in defeat from a 6 lb higher mark when finding just one too strong back over further here last month. Winds of Winter has finished runner-up on 3 of her 4 starts since joining Iain Jardine, so she heads up the opposition on chase debut, with Divas Doyen taken to edge out Shadows In The Sky for third.
