MISTERDOC shaped with plenty of encouragement on his recent stable debut after 3 months off, finishing with more to give under considerate handling, so he's an appealing candidate in receipt of weight from his older rivals. Hornica shaped well behind a stablemate of the selection at Windsor on her latest start and hasn't yet shown all she can, with Leo Wood also of interest having shown promise on his sole outing over hurdles in France.
