DOCPICKEDME (4) improved from a fifth in a handicap hurdle at Newbury to place third in the Rehearsal Premier Handicap Chase at Newcastle a fortnight ago. Holds winning course and distance form. Will be up there. PRINCE ZALTAR (7) finished runner-up on most recent appearance in a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham four weeks back. The winner has won subsequently. Can go one better. ALCEDO (6) improved markedly from a ninth in an Aintree handicap chase to narrowly come out on top of a Newcastle handicap chase by a nose. Can double up. JOYEUX MACHIN (1) must improve from a last-start eighth in the Stayers’ Premier Handicap Hurdle.
