Things haven't gone to plan so far this season for DODDIETHEGREAT, hampered at the start when pulled up back over hurdles at Kempton on Boxing Day, but he's now on a handy mark given the promise he showed last season and could be ready to take advantage. Altobelli has run well both starts at this course and heads the list of dangers, while Bo Zenith could still have more to offer.
