Going - Good to Yielding, good in places. Fine
View all races Result Odds Compare

Formscan By Gary Carson - DESERT HAVEN ran a solid race in a better contest at Fairyhouse earlier this month and looks up to scoring now. The Oasis Dream gelding kept on when fifth to Jet To Monte Carlo and remains on the same mark. This looks like a winnable opportunity now. Kabylia was well behind the selection last time but may improve a bit from that comeback effort and could play a bigger role now. Spinning Web tries hurdles now after a couple of early falls over fences. He is on an attractive mark over timber and is another to consider.
