Signposts: Des and Davies can keep their perfect record together intact

James Davies and the Henry Oliver-trained Dr Des have recorded two wins from two starts together. They bid for the hat-trick in the 3.20 at Fontwell. This improving novice looks to have ideal conditions here.

When Ben Pauling sends his horses to Southwell it’s worth taking note. He has a 31 per cent strike-rate at the venue and saddles one horse there today, Hero’s Creek in the 5.05. This Kalanisi gelding is making his debut for a yard that does well in bumpers.
