Verdict

The Which Doctor finally got it right last time and can follow up; possibly at the expense of Lunar Promise and Danetime Panther. The selection has gone up by 6lbs but has promised to be better than that in the past. He and Tom Queally have endured their fair share of trouble in running this season but Shane Kelly got it right last time and that should have done the horse's confidence some good. He should see out this longer trip and take all the beating if he handles the softer ground. Lunar Promise shaped quite encouragingly at Doncaster last time and has to be of interest given the season that Ian Williams has been enjoying on the level. Curzon Prince is considered but is no more than fairly handicapped whilst Nightjar has a little to prove and Danetime Panther could emerge as a bigger threat as he hasn't been running too badly of late. The selection has solid claims though and The Which Doctor may have all the answers.
