FormscanBy Gary Carson - THE BIG DOYEN could be well treated in this off a mark of 122. The Doyen gelding was Grade 2 placed over timber and reached a rating of 135 over the smaller obstacles. He has weakened at the business end on his three outings over fences to date but this looks like a nice race for him now. Rachael Blackmore takes the mount on Zurich for Henry de Bromhead and he could be a big player. The Doctor Dino gelding shaped with promise on his chase debut at Punchestown last month and is entitled to come forward a bit from that. One Last Tango has plenty of experience and ran well in handicap company last time. He’s another to consider.
