The Osteopath was engaged to run at Ripon on Saturday but would have claims if taking part. If he doesn't then the task looks an even easier one for DOCTOR ZHIVAGO. He's gone close in handicaps on a couple of occasions this season and looks the one to beat on today's terms. Unex Goya won a seller at Yarmouth on his penultimate start and should figure on that evidence, while the likes of Smarty Sam and En Fuego have the past form to figure if benefiting for the drop in class.
