Desert Strike just got the better of the re-opposing Peace Seeker in a claimer over 5f at Wolverhampton last time and is better off at the weights back in a handicap. But DUTCH INTERIOR looks more likely to follow up his recent win over track and trip having beaten previous winner Alnoomas a couple of lengths on that occasion. Taquka won here in August and should go well again while Gabbiano is another course and distance winner back on a winning mark.
