FormscanBy Gary Carson - Gordon Elliott uses Rob James' valuable 7lb claim here again on DOCTOR CHURCHILL and that helps him with his welter burden. The Mukhadram gelding was a good winner at Limerick over Christmas and was due to carry 12-3 off his mark of 123 so taking weight off his back was an obvious move. It's hard to get a read on some of the others on what they have shown over timber to date. Stablemate Alice Kitty had her jumping issues early on but was third on her penultimate start at Sedgefield and may not be badly treated off 94 with Jordan Gainford taking a further 3lb off. Gamigin didn't run too badly when sixth behind The Tide Turns here a fortnight ago and is another to consider.
