[u]12.50 Haydock[/u]
[b]Desert Cry:
[/b]I am not sure he is all that well handicapped but he is obviously useful and this should give us a better idea of where we are with him. The Grade 2 he was second in probably wasn't the strongest and this will be a tough task carrying top weight on his handicap debut, but he is fit and well and it will be good to get him back on the racecourse.
