Forecasts

Dr Des (4/5), Piton Pete (1/1), Fare Thee Well (50/1)

Verdict

DR DES was never travelling well at Fontwell last time against seasoned Graded level performers. Having hung right connections have wasted no time in bringing him back to a right-handed circuit. His form against useful novices at Ascot this winter makes him the one to beat, although Piton Pete will ensure he has a battle on his hands. Oliver Sherwood's charge jumps well and is clearly happy to dictate the pace. He will expose any potential flaws in Dr Des for what looks a close match.
  1. Dr Des

  3. Fare Thee Well
