        Verdict

        With some decent performances in handicaps to back up a challenge this seller seems to have been framed in the favour of REGAL BLUSH, who is given our confidence ahead of Secret Desert and Dhania. We can put a line through the selection's last effort where both the surface and trip can be given as reasons for a poor run. Back on turf he should be seen in a better light and this looks his ground after a decent runner's-up spot on it in a decent Newbury handicap in July. Secret Desert is the highest rated in the field but hasn't exactly pulled up any tress in his handful of starts and until he shows a semblance of form we are happy to oppose. Dhania on the pick of his form is very much in the frame despite recent disappointments while Tesserae isn't weighted out of this and has at least been running well in defeat. This is a race that fails to capture the imagination but it could land us an embarrassment of riches by backing Regal Blush.
