Verdict
None of these can be ruled out but Neil Mulholland's mare SAINTE DOCTOR is thriving of late and taken to quickly resume winning ways on the back of a very good Cheltenham second. Veteran Flic Ou Voyage also arrives in very good nick and rates the chief threat, although Dan Skelton's Asta La Pasta is weighted to go very well too if shrugging off a lesser effort at Plumpton.
