DOCTOR KEHOE scored over 1m6f at Wolverhampton before finishing fourth at the same track last time in a higher grade than this. He can return to winning ways and is just preferred to Tafolau. The latter was well beaten over 2m last time but was third to the progressive Shifting Moon over track and trip earlier. He has the beating of Willow Jubilee on collateral form while Aumerle showed his first worthwhile form when not beaten far at Kempton last month. Cassandane's earlier victory at Beverley came in a lowly seller and she was tailed off at Pontefract last time.
