Desert Light gets a tentative vote; Piccostar and Desert Hunter are amongst the dangers. The selection failed to land a Lingfield seller last time but he was finishing to quite good effect having not really enjoyed the run of the race. He's well handicapped on the pick of his form and his last four wins have come in March and April so if he's going to bounce back to form then now's the time. Piccostar has been running well this year and looks sure to be in the mix although this may be a shade more competitive than she would care for. Desert Hunter didn't really build on the promise of his penultimate start when a beaten favourite last time but this track may suit him better and he may be worth another chance. Tilsworth Charlie merits close consideration and Sherjawy rates a second look but we'll take a chance with Desert Light.
