Midnight Warrior beat Bowdler's Magic a head at Redcar in May but neither have exactly enhanced the form subsequently. Hookergate Grammar is still a maiden but at least we know he stays the trip so he should be thereabouts while Bizzario led for a long way over 2m at Goodwood before fading in the straight. Harvey's Hope has been in moderate form over hurdles but has won here in the past though the vote goes to WILD DESERT, who found 2m1f stretching his stamina at Bath after completing a double around this trip.
