This looks a good opportunity for GRAN DESCANS to follow up his promising win at Doncaster at the beginning of the month. The Bellhop had the selection behind him when an encouraging fifth on his Sandown debut and can fill the forecast spot if the addition of cheekpieces help him to bounce back from a lesser effort on AW since.

VerdictWon a 13f bumper last autumn but failed to stay in a pair of 2m bumpers in January. Only seventh of 12 when switched to the Flat at Kempton (11f) 13 days ago and might not be of real interest in this sphere until handicapping.- 7. The BellhopJ: Tom QueallyT: Gary & Josh MooreF: 58

Verdict66/1, shaped well amidst inexperience when fifth of 12 in maiden at Sandown (1¼m, good to firm) on debut in June. Never involved on AW at Kempton since but the chief threat to Gran Descans on the debut effort. Cheekpieces are added.
