    Race Analysis

    ABSOLUTELY DOYEN (1) resumes after 220 days. Joins the in-form Paul Nicholls team having finished second tackling 2m at Kempton Park when resuming last campaign. Leading contender. NIGHT STALKER (3) also resumes following a lengthy absence. Last seen finishing third attempting 2m3f at Warwick. Indicated ability and looks a strong top-three contender if ready to go. VESALIUS (4) performed below his best recently. Better than those efforts over 2m and 2m4f at Worcester suggest. Capable of sharp improvement. ACEOFADIAMOND (2) was pulled up delivering first outing. Expected to strip fitter and race more competitively.
