DROVERS LANE drops back in distance having scored in good enough fashion at Uttoxeter on third start over timber. This trip should be fine and the Rebecca Curtis-trained gelding sets a decent standard to aim at. Cora Sundrop is a likely improver now facing hurdles and any strong support for the mount of the champion jockey would be noted while useful Flat performer Winter Spice is also worth noting on first outing over jumps despite a long absence.
