Formscan  - ABSOLUTELY DOYEN hasn't looked back since joining the Paul Nicholls yard, winning three on the bounce, and is now 8lb higher than his two-and-a-half length success at Ascot last month. The son of Doyen might have been worth more than the winning margin suggests on that occasion and is taken to strike once again. Kikijo won well in this grade at Cheltenham and is likely to be thereabouts, while Lavender Hill Mob looked a different proposition when upped in trip at Cheltenham and may have more to offer.
