Verdict

DESKTOP made a winning return to action over track and trip a fortnight ago when popping-up at 25/1. There should be more to come from him so a 3lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow-up. City Dreams was narrowly beaten over 1m6f here last time having slid down the weights and he should figure again though Yorkshireman ran below par behind the selection last time. Hyperlink is another looking to take advantage of his current mark and should have improved for a recent comeback fourth over course and distance.
