Formscan By Eamonn Murphy - "He's a bit free but he has an engine. Plan A was to take our time with him if we could but Ciaran (Fennessy) had to go to plan B and let him bowl along. It's all worked out anyway," so said Denis Leahy after DESERTMORE VIEW had won his point-to-point at Lemonfield last March. That's a venue that has a habit of producing good horses and the Fruits Of Love gelding made all. He ended up accounting for Samson Bill by five lengths. I'd be surprised if he doesn't give his backers a good run for their money here. Benemeade must concede upwards of 8Ibs to his rivals as the only previous winner, on the track, in this line-up. You could see why he might head the market though and he looks sure to strongly make his presence felt. With ratings of 100 and 97 respectively, Bonheur Secret and Stay In My Heart have to enter the equation. Others that can't be left out of it include Kilgefin Star, Saltmills Blackie, Warofthegiants, Bridgequarter Girl and Dashing Lady.
