THE GOOD DOCTOR won a fair handicap over this trip in France and made an encouraging start for his new yard at Lingfield 4 weeks ago. He can build on that and come out on top under a penalty. Tea And Chats showed plenty in two races over hurdles at Plumpton this time last year and is a big player if ready to roll dropped in trip. Thank You Ma'am and Balhambar complete the shortlist.
