Verdict
DESERT LAND has won two of his four outings at this venue so far and finished runner-up back here last time. But alternatives abound as Unashamed scored over track and trip last month and can figure again while both Abnaa and Novak finished runner-up on the Tapeta on their latest starts. Athollblair Boy went close over 6f here and Arthur's Victory found one too good at Yarmouth.
