Verdict
SAINTE DOCTOR finally looks set to open her account over fences having slipped down the weights and finishing runner-up at Doncaster last time. She can go one better in this while Ballybeen returned from a break with another placed effort and is preferred to The Knot Is Tied, who was still well beaten when second in a lower grade at Huntingdon. Judex Lefou has failed to build on an earlier second at Ludlow while it was heavy ground when Coupdebol was last successful.
