Neither Dalavand nor Gold Eliza, who was hampered, were beaten far behind Desert Cross at Bath. Lady Rocka beat French Legend just under two lengths over track and trip last week but has 6lb extra to carry, though Amanda Perrett puts up a 5lb claimer to help offset the penalty. Buzz Lightyere was staying on over a slightly shorter distance at Lingfield but MASTERSON, also second at that track on Saturday, gets the nod as he won off a 3lb higher mark at Bath in the autumn.
