Verdict
Dormouse is only 2lb higher than when scoring over C&D last winter and was very much in need of the run at Fakenham last month. Surf And Turf won twice in April but has disappointed since returning from his summer break while Bolanderi found a career-high mark too much at Wincanton last time. SHALLOW BAY has twice found Numen too strong in novice company at Exeter but David Pipe's Flat winner remains unexposed over hurdles and is by no means overburdened on his handicap debut. He makes a lot more appeal than stablemate Southerness and can take this.
