MUST SEE THE DOC can bounce back from a surprise defeat here last month to deny Green Etoile a double. The third in the former’s race has won subsequently at Market Rasen while the latter has finished tailed off when favourite on the Flat since scoring at Hexham, though his yard won this last year. Hen has shown little away from Wolverhampton so far and fellow newcomers Limelighter and Guardia Top are best watched. Repetitio looks held on the form book.
