In depth

Verdict

Docpickedme won a point in Ireland a year ago and didn't enjoy the very testing conditions at Chepstow in December. DRAKES WELL was 1-8 between the flags but looks like making a better hurdler judging by a fine run for a 50/1 chance when chasing home Golden Boy Grey at Fontwell. Fontana Ellissi was well beaten despite reaching a place in his opening two runs but did better in a jumpers' bumper at Kempton while Roscoe Tara was up with the pace throughout when fourth at Plumpton in December. Great Gable started favourite for a Doncaster bumper but was beaten a distance.
