Verdict
Griggy is creeping closer and placed at Lingfield last week while Dark Design found only one too good over a shorter trip at Chelmsford. Forbearing has been thereabouts in classified company lately but a chance is taken on DESERT MIRACLE. The latter faded in the closing stages over track and trip when sent off favourite on his first outing since 2021 but much better is expected here.
