Desert Doctor has won over a mile under today’s amateur while both Trabajo Detecho and Manigordo also drop down in trip. Woobay finished in front of So Grateful when going close over the minimum trip and Kats Bob won over course and distance last month. But KAIDU looks likely to improve now handicapping having placed at Wolverhampton on his debut for a new yard so he gets the nod.
