Don Des Fosses^t,v¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 12-3| J: R Johnson| T: W Greatrex| OR: 99

7/4

Sedgefield second three runs ago puts him in the mix but very disappointing both runs since and slowly away when seen here last time. Hard to know what to expect at present.

Form: 8P0284

Belmont Park^p⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Daniel Hiskett⁽⁵⁾| T: D G Bridgwater| OR: 93

6/5

Seemed to find stamina stretched when third behind a subsequent winner when reappearing after long break here last month over 3m2f. Should come on for that and the drop in trip looks in his favour.

Form: 5/3PU2-3

Mister Mister¹⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: C J Todd⁽⁷⁾| T: D L Williams| OR: 82

3/1

Was held in second place when left clear at the last at Taunton in November. First time visor tried then now discarded.

Forecasts

Belmont Park (6/5), Don Des Fosses (7/4), Mister Mister (3/1), Howlongisafoot (6/1)

BELMONT PARK showed enough on comeback run here last month to suggest a race like this is within his capabilities with he drop in trip a plus. Mister Mister can be his main danger as Don Des Fosses looked a hard ride last time.
