Formscan - Doctor Khan Junior returned to winning ways at Southwell at the end of January, but more is required after a 3lb rise from the handicapper. With that in mind, the vote goes to NIKOVO. The seven-year-old has been knocking on the door with a string of consistent efforts and this might be the time to catch him against arguably weaker opposition than he has faced of late. Eldrickjones and Talis Evolvere are others to consider.
