Doctor Ken made a promising debut on good going here in November and didn't perform badly in very testing ground at Newbury next time so is greatly respected. However, UNANSWERED PRAYERS followed two narrow defeats between the flags with another in a Kempton bumper and can go one better. Overrated Passtime will need to do much better than at Plumpton in September though he didn't act on fast ground while Blended Stealth hasn't shown enough to be considered. The four-year-old Mixedwave is the first foal of a winning jumper and looks one for the future.
