FormscanBy Tom Weekes - DOCTUR DU MESNIL disappointed at Cheltenham but remains a nice staying prospect and returns to a course where he won takingly on debut last year. In that run, he conceded 7lb when giving an 11-length beating to a subsequent Grade 2-winner and while he subsequently failed to match that form over hurdles, nonetheless had two useful runs prior to Cheltenham. He drops in grade here, with a tongue-tie left off. Jerobeam Machin was a high-class prospect in the 2023/’24 season when winning a Grade 2 bumper at the DRF and while he has previous point-to-point experience and should come on bundles from his April reappearance run, might improve again following today’s race. Doctor Elvis has solid place claims.
