Verdict
Desert Dreamer, Landucci and Bonnie Prince Blue are the three to concentrate on here and the nomination is given to Desert Dreamer. The selection was only beaten a neck by Little Edward last time and the form of the race has worked out well. The step-up in trip will not hinder this course and distance winner and he should go close. Landucci has always reserved his best for Brighton in the past, but he has now won three times at this venue and the manner of his most recent win over this course and distance marks him down as a serious player today. Bonnie Prince Blue is from a yard in good form and he is certainly on a handy mark at present. However, he failed to capitalise on that fact here last time and we prefer the claims of Desert Dreamer who can land the prize.
