Verdict

Desert Spa is out to get losses back and can do so at the expense of Before The Mast, Gabor and Shalati Princess, with Jack Durrance another to consider. A big field line up here, but on recent evidence it is Desert Spa that is the one to catch. Although at the age of 11 he is the oldest one here, he shaped well enough when third at Ludlow, and this past course-and-distance winner will always be a threat in this grade. Before The Mast has been in action over fences and hurdles, and would be a threat if the ground was softer, while Gabor has been placed a few times and is not out of it despite topweight with his pilot taking off a handy 7lb. Shalati Princess was very unlucky at Taunton in March but has not looked like making amends in two subsequent outings, and Jack Durrance proved he can win a race of this nature at Newton Abbot last August but has risen up the weights since and is hard to fancy strongly. We shall take Desert Spa to put his younger rivals in the shade.
