Donatello Mail looked sure to win at Leicester last week but got out-battled in the closing stages. He races off the same mark here and should be thereabouts again. Robaddan ran an odds-on favourite to half-a-length at Sedgefield and has every chance of going one better being lightly raced. Massini Man was second at Southwell before unseating his rider on the final circuit at Doncaster but this can go to ENRICHISSANT, who was also runner-up on his latest start and is a course winner here over hurdles.
