Not a strong event by any stretch of the imagination and this looks a match between the lightly raced pair Desert Heat and Rule Britannia. The former came up against a useful yardstick when runner-up at haydock lastr time and looks to have a race of this nature within her compass so is preferred over James Fanshawe's filly who has scope to improve further but may be better over a slightly longer trip.
