    Verdict

    Doctor Ken, a winning bumper, landed the odds in an Ascot maiden hurdle in November but didn't handle softer ground and Listed company at Cheltenham. Earth Lord completed a double when landing an Ascot handicap over this trip then ran well for a long way in the very competitive Lanzarote Handicap at Kempton but FAIR FRONTIERES had very strong form in Ireland before making all for a facile maiden victory at Worcester. There was obviously something amiss when beaten a distance in a Sandown Grade 2 in December and hopefully he's over whatever ailed him there. Camdonian couldn't get close to Brave Kingdom at Chepstow but stayed on nicely and the winner has gone in again.
