Formscan  - Almazhar Garde has strung a number of solid efforts together and is likely to be in the shake-up once again, while 2024 winner Ladronne must enter calculations following his Catterick success. However, the vote goes to Neil Mulholland's SAINTE DOCTOR. She drops in class following a staying-on second at Fakenham 40 days ago and is entitled to improve for that first outing since last May. It's also worth noting that Richie McLernon, who has steered the mare to victory six times in the past, is back on board.
