The Which Doctor was beginning to find his feet again at the back end of the turf season and wasn't beaten far in first-time cheekpieces on his latest start at Windsor in October. But we were particularly taken with ALL THE WINDS' success over C&D two weeks ago and believe there may be more to come from the five-year-old, who won three times in Germany before joining his current yard. Follow The Flag is a seasoned campaigner who came back to form at Lingfield last time, while Franco Is My Name landed a big gamble over C&D a month ago but probably isn't as well handicapped today.
