Pennywhistle is penalised for an earlier success at Newmarket and that should hand the advantage to DESIROUS on these terms. The latter is getting closer with every start and was clear of the rest when beaten only a head over today’s trip at Newmarket last month. Imperial Charm has also placed at Headquarters and makes more appeal than the likes of Shape Of Water and Sharqeyya while Saikung is related to a couple of winners and preferred to Carnival Rose of the newcomers.
