Astrolibra is holding her form well and must be of interest however she is 5lbs above her highest winning mark and preference instead is for Desert Hawk who has tumbled to an attractive mark. The selection knows how to win having won twice over ten furlongs here before. He is now rated 48, 5lbs lower than his top winning mark and with quick ground not a problem he should run a big race. Beckenham's Secret disappointed last time having shaped with more promise on his reappearance, whilst Kangrina seemed to go backwards and he had been given a fair break in order to try and negate the so-called bounce factor. Chapter won well on his reappearance at Brighton, and holds Astrolibria on that run; he is well-handicapped on old form and may appreciate the drop in trip today. At a price Credential is one who needs to be watched in the betting for a trainer who does fairly well here. Mark Brisbourne has been without a winner for a while, but Desert Hawk can provide him with a timely filip.
