      Verdict

      Desert Safari is penalised for last week’s victory over 6f here and has yet to race over the minimum trip while Live In The Moment has been raised a further 6lb bidding for a four-timer but did beat Sampers Seven at York earlier. WILL TO WIN has yet to score over 5f but returns to this surface having won four of five previous outings on the all-weather and should go close with his yard remaining in top form. The returning Firepower is interesting having been aimed high as a two-year-old and having undergone wind surgery since last in action but Poets Dance has something to prove in this grade.
