Verdict
DAZZLING DES looks set for a return to winning ways having found only one too good over course and distance last time. Back on the same mark as when last successful, David O’Meara’s charge can confirm latest running with both Buy Me Back and A Go Go. Lady Quickstep’s earlier victory here came over 6f and Qaaraat has scored twice at Southwell recently but it’s been sometime since Primo's Comet last won on the all-weather and Shining is preferred.
