Verdict
Desert Doctor dropped back to the minimum trip here recently and landed the odds in a novices race with the minimum of fuss. But BIG TIME MAYBE ended last year with a handicap double including a course and distance success in this grade. Tom Dascombe’s charge may just edge this if allowed his own way in front once again and is also preferred to Southwell winner Gift In Time, who finished well ahead of Emilia James when placed at this venue last time.
