Verdict

In a race where few arrive with compelling claims DAWN'S DESIRE is given a chance to build on last month's Fontwell third. Blue In The West and Locked Down Lad could pose threats if able to shrug off lesser runs last time, while Hughie Morrison's Urban Isle is a handicap newcomer to keep an eye on in the betting.

12	Low-mileage mare who showed her first sign of promise when third over 2¾m at Fontwell (soft) 24 days ago. Possible she can build on that with Ben Jones taking the reins for the first time. 1st Pick 12 Dawn's Desire (Ire) Jockey: Freddie Gingell Trainer: Robert Walford J: Freddie Gingell T: Robert Walford	94	-	-	-	19%

3	Long-standing maiden. Placed twice in 23f course handicaps under Shane Quinlan last month and claims if he can shrug off a poor run at Chepstow 12 days ago. 2nd Pick 3 Blue In The West (Ire) Jockey: Shane Quinlan Trainer: Ben Lund J: Shane Quinlan T: Ben Lund	97	-	-	-	29%

8	Placed in his first 5 handicaps, including 3 times under Callum Pritchard. Shaped better than sixth of 11 suggests at Chepstow in February. No obvious excuses when only eighth of 10 back there since but still has more going for him than most. 3rd Pick 8 Locked Down Lad Jockey: Callum Pritchard Trainer: Joe Tickle J: Callum Pritchard T: Joe Tickle	99	-	-	-	19%
