Verdict

With the Henderson yard in full flow, dual bumper winner Docte Dina can be expected to improve on what she's shown over fences to date. Winning point-to-pointer and bumper Revels Hill showed improved form when stepped-up to this trip at Hereford while Found On, a winner between the flags and twice over timber, makes her chasing debut over a more suitable trip. AHEAD OF THE FIELD was having just his second start since arriving from Ireland when scoring with a bit in hand over 2m4f here last month. He's been raised 5lb but looks the type to make further progress. Timeless Beauty scored between the flags and over 2m4f at Lingfield and will find this easier than the Class 3 handicap she ran in at Cheltenham.
