A progressive 3-time winner last season, DOYEN DU BAR made a bright start for the Nicky Richards stable when third on his reappearance at Newbury 4 weeks ago. It's feasible to think he can build on that and he shades preference over the returning Madara, who is a fascinating contender down in class. Traprain Law is also respected as an in-form sort.
