Verdict
Synodic came up short when sent off favourite here last week and Pivotal Dream also makes a quick reappearance having finished fourth over track and trip a couple of days ago. Celtic Artisan ran poorly last time having won at Chelmsford earlier while L'apogee scored at Beverley last year and has been beaten over hurdles subsequently. But DOR’S LAW remains unexposed and with Lulu Stanford taking 5lb off her back and her stable back among the winners last week, she’s taken to make a winning reappearance on her first start since August.
