    Verdict

    DESERT ACE is weighted to come out best dropping down into claiming company and also has the strongest form. He can bring an end to a frustrating run of seconds by landing this. Apricot Sky is not badly treated in relation to the rest of the field and was placed over 6f here last time while The Nazca Lines finished well ahead of Oriental Relation at Beverley last month. Compton River and Swendab have little chance on these terms.
