        Verdict

        Karl Burke is very much respected in his placement of horses in this type of race and he can pick up again with Desperation, who is selected in preference to the capable but frustrating Spence Appeal. Not many of the rest catch the eye, with only Royal Charter making appeal on pedigree. He cost 160,000gns as a foal and obviously better things were projected for him. However, his connections have quickly realized that he is no world beater and so he takes his chance in a claimer today. The fact that he has only beaten two horses home in both his previous starts is a worry and it is a leap of faith to go in heavy with him on what he has shown so far; even if Jamie Spencer has been booked for the ride by his in-form trainer, David Loder. At longer odds, Dusty Dane represents a yard that always have their runners fired up at this time of year and each-way support for Bill Turner's charge should be noted. However, Desperation held on well to score over course and distance last month and, with the rest having to prove their stamina for the trip. He looks the safest option. Spence Appeal is the obvious one for the forecast.
