Perhaps best to focus on the progressive youngsters at the bottom of the weights. ABSOLUTELY DOYEN looked to relish the step up to 3m at Ascot and is selected to make it 4-4 since joining Paul Nicholls. Turndlightsdownlow has impressed when landing 2 Kempton handicaps over shorter and will be a major threat if his stamina holds faced with a much stiffer test now. Last month's Cheltenham scorer Kikijo completes the shortlist.
