      Verdict

      Blue News produced his best form last season on fast ground at Navan but Desert Haven's recent good form has been on heavy going and he hasn't raced on ground this fast. FIRST GENTLEMAN is also unproven on this going but he's shown good pace in both starts in testing conditions so looks the one to beat. Miracle Nation was a 100/1 chance for his debut here last month but made a very promising start and looks certain to go close with normal progress.
