Desert Dreamer edges this Listed event at the weights having placed in Group races at York and Ascot earlier when partnered by Oisin Murphy. But the latter rides Irish challenger and Group 3 runner-up Pennine Hills today and she’s preferred to compatriots Red Lacewing, Siesta Beach and Takana. Frankie gets the leg-up on Loves Me Likearock but Ryan Moore takes over the reins on the unbeaten BENEFIT, who beat a horse rated 93 with plenty in hand at Leicester recently and looks capable of competing at this level. Barbanera may prove best of the rest representing last year’s winning yard.
