      Verdict

      Saeed bin Suroor's yard has finally got going after a slow start and DESERT FROST can continue the resurgence. His latest run on fast ground at Lingfield has been boosted by subsequent victories of the first two home and his young rider's claim is a bonus. Logi won twice here before finding a 5lb rise and better grade too much on a return visit but The Great Wall looks a major threat. He was facing fast going for the first time at York last month and led for a long way over 7f so today's trip should prove ideal. Bahamian Dollar went up 4lb for landing a Leicester handicap on heavy ground but has competed with credit in three subsequent starts in much quicker conditions. Big Les went up 6lb for his victory here in May and ran well enough at Ayr last time to merit respect and though Chookie Dunedin has been well beaten in his last two starts they have been in better company.
