Loyal Havana placed over 6f last time and sets the standard rated 73 but DESERT MARATHON may prove good enough with any further progress. She finished third over track and trip on her latest start, despite failing to get a clear run, and there looks more to come. Diffident Spirit showed some promise at Kempton on his debut and Privacy overcame a tardy start to place at Chelmsford on her introduction. Alvarino finished closer upped to a mile here recently and Vunipola also drops down in distance.
