Verdict

THE GOOD DOCTOR won a fair handicap over this trip in France and made an encouraging start for his new yard at Lingfield 4 weeks ago. He can build on that and come out on top under a penalty. Tea And Chats showed plenty in two races over hurdles at Plumpton this time last year and is a big player if ready to roll dropped in trip. Thank You Ma'am and Balhambar complete the shortlist.

  1. THE GOOD DOCTOR (FR)
  2. TEA AND CHATS (IRE)
  3. THANK YOU MA'AM
