Dr Livingstone was beaten on the Flat at Kempton last month but landed a double in bumpers on the Polytrack in January. However, a 12lb penalty may be beyond him in this with DOLATULO in opposition. Warren Greatrexs' charge finished fourth behind Sam Winner in one of these races at Kempton on his penultimate start and this looks less competitive. Jack The Gent has been in better form over fences recently and has gone close in a bumper over course and distance in the past. He's just preferred to Always Bold, who has held his form well since scoring over hurdles in October.
