Desert Rain is related to a couple of winners and the Godolphin filly will no doubt prove popular on her debut. She’s preferred to fellow newcomer Chatoyer and the Irish raider Imbucato. But SPARKALOT wasn't beaten that far when fourth over track and trip on last month’s debut when in front of Spare Parts and he may prove good enough with normal progress. Raffle King went close on last year’s introduction but hasn‘t raced since well beaten at Ascot in May.
