Desert Doctor has done all of his racing so far on artificial surfaces and Music Society is having only his second start on Turf. MAYBRIDE did not a bad race in her first season and was impressive when getting off the mark at Leicester in October – she could be well treated on her reappearance and first run in a handicap. Captain Jameson won at Catterick and Doncaster in the autumn and also warrants respect while Consequences was successful over course and distance in November. Dragons Tail seems a consistent sort so may be the pick of the remainder at the weights, though Rebel Assault will strip fitter for a recent pipe-opener.
