Verdict
ABSOLUTELY DOYEN always had things under control when making it 3 from 3 for this yard at Ascot and this progressive sort remains one to keep on the right side of. Tiny Tetley hasn't taken to chasing this season but should prove much more of a force back in this sphere, while Moonset is progressive but needs to take another sizeable step forward from out of the handicap.

VerdictMade it 3-3 for Paul Nicholls when seeing off 8 rivals on handicap debut at Ascot (soft) last month. Hit with an 8 lb rise but did it readily and there should be more to come.

VerdictGood third in the Cleeve Hurdle at Cheltenham in January, but he was otherwise below par last season and departed early in Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury on return.

VerdictUseful hurdler who is a chasing sort on looks and took well to fences with a 3m Exeter handicap success in February. Continued the good work when second at Fontwell on return but struggled in deeper race at Ascot last month, beaten before trip was an issue. Back over hurdles now.
