Assembled has shown ability in both starts to date and it will be a surprise if Hugo Palmer’s grey finishes out of the frame in this. DESERT LION failed to land the odds at Thirsk after a debut second at Kempton but the form of that latter race is probably better than it looked at the time with the second winning here last week and the winner going on to finish second in a Class 2 handicap at Haydock. Jack D'Or’s third at Lingfield doesn’t compare while it’s disconcerting to see William Haggas’ filly Squelch sporting headgear on her racecourse debut.
