Verdict
Mac Tottie was beaten a long way when second at Market Rasen last month and always seems to find one too good. DORY has switched stables since disappointing at Huntingdon and the Fakenham runner-up, who won his bumper on good going, is worth another chance in this grade. Former pointers Orchard Lane and Double Miss look best of the rest with Inspireus and the others having shown little in the way of ability so far.
