Arctic Desert was a strong whisper before making his debut at Windsor and in a race of many imponderables, he is given the TEAMtalk nod. He was behind Bonus on that day but he had had the benefit of racecourse experience. It is anticipated that the form will be reversed today. Gilded Edge almost posted a 20/1 shock for the TEAMtalk Form Pointers at Lingfield. Related to Palacegate Touch, the trip should be no problem but while she finished like a train at the end of the race,it took an awful long time before she hit full steam. The market should give the biggest clue as to the chances of Adhaaba. Marcus Tregoning's representative is closely related to Elrafa Ah and Mujahid.
