In depth
Verdict
WARBURTON came up against the progressive Desert Wind when only fourth on last month’s debut. But he should go close with normal progress given Charlie Appleby’s runners are in flying form and he makes more appeal than Intense Pleasure. The latter finished well ahead of Shining Valley when second at Chelmsford last time while Mozzafiato and Quality Seeker are others likely to finish closer today with the former preferred of that pair. Come On Come On made a winning start back in 2016 but has been hard to keep right since and was pulled up on his only outing of last year.
