Key races and best bets
ABSOLUTELY DOYEN - 1.20 Sandown
Perhaps best to focus on the progressive youngsters at the bottom of the weights. ABSOLUTELY DOYEN looked to relish the step up to 3m at Ascot and is selected to make it 4-4 since joining Paul Nicholls. Turndlightsdownlow has impressed when landing 2 Kempton handicaps over shorter and will be a major threat if his stamina holds faced with a much stiffer test now. Last month's Cheltenham scorer Kikijo completes the shortlist.
LULAMBA - 1.50 Sandown
LULAMBA was much the best of these over timber and made a sound start in this discipline at Exeter last month. There should be plenty more to come and he is clearly the one to beat. Be Aware upped his game when second at Cheltenham and gets the forecast vote.
IL ETAIT TEMPS - 3.00 Sandown
A most intriguing renewal with IL ETAIT TEMPS taken to cement his position at the top of the 2m chase tree with April's C&D beating of Jonbon just about the best form on offer. The Henderson inmate has lost some of his lustre in recent times but cheekpieces are on and sure to strip fitter for Cheltenham and away from heavy ground, he may be up to reversing Scholer Chase form with L'eau du Sud, who was hard fit for that assignment.
