Desert Strike can usually be relied on to run his race and is on better terms with SULIS MINERVA for a two-length defeat over C&D in January. The latter has since run well off higher marks, however, and Jeremy Gask's sprinter is fancied to confirm running and return to winning ways. Hatta Stream looks to have solid claims if forgiven a below-par effort last time and has the beating off Haadeeth and Nubar Boy on recent running, but Kylladdie is upped in grade after going close over 5f at Wolverhampton last month.
