    Verdict

    DESERT EMPEROR has won two of his last three outings over track and trip. He’s penalised for last week’s success but won with plenty to spare on that occasion and can go in again. Wise Glory has been hurdling but finished runner-up at Leicester when last on the Flat while Contingency Fee may be in the handicappers grip now having won six times earlier in the year. Morlaix could go well back on the all-weather though hasn’t raced since June.
