Forecasts
Doyen Du Bar (5/6), Dance Thief (9/4), Brucio (10/3)
With a soft lead likely, DOYEN DU BAR is taken to resume winning ways having chased home a useful type in Vincenzo off this mark at Sandown last time. Dance Thief left his low-key chase debut well behind when seeing off 5 rivals with minimum fuss back here 13 days ago and he is an obvious threat. Brucio wouldn't be out of his if matching the pick of her hurdles form at the first attempt in this sphere but she's hard to get excited about on the back of a couple of below par efforts.
