Doctor Bartolo just about sets the standard on his effort at Newbury in December with that form working out well, he should be in the firing line now. KAPDAD has placed in both starts over timber so far, latest behind a fair sort at Kempton last month. He can make the breakthrough today. Night Of Glory was a bit too keen at Warwick last time but offered plenty to work on and is likely to have his say.
