Verdict
DEANS ROAD was only third when favourite for a Ladies Open at Kings Blount on his reappearance but the veteran will strip fitter here and could outclass these. Zamparelli placed here last year and arrives in decent form while Tel'art, like the selection, is a previous course and distance winner. Dale Peters’ Peacocks Secret is also respected.
