Verdict

Desert Doctor won over track and trip in September but faces a tougher task on his return to action and SOLDIER’S MINUTE won at Kempton before placing in a Listed sprint at Lingfield. Keith Dalgleish’s charge gets the nod back in a handicap and is taken to confirm latest running with Corinthia Knight. The latter has subsequently gone close over 5f here while Reeves has landed a recent double over 7f at Chelmsford and is preferred to stablemate Warsaw Road, despite a 6lb rise. Total Commitment is another bidding for a hat-trick but is upped in class off a 7lb higher mark.
