QUIET DESIRE (NAP) scored over the course and distance in May and is 1lb lower. Pat Martin has booked the in-form Robert Whearty and a big run is expected. Fancy Red Diamond caught the eye when staying on at Tramore, his first sign of form, and he's been dropped 5lb for his all-weather debut. Shaylee was conceding Power Drive 7lb when beaten five lengths here in November and would be massively better off if the winner gets a run from his reserve spot. The market may prove the best guide to the remainder in a poor handicap.
