LIVING DESERT has been very highly tried since running Amazonas to less than a length over this C&D on his debut. He was far from disgraced in a Listed contest at Newbury last month and should be tough to beat today. Exotic Guest is from a good family and made an excellent start behind Moohaajim at Ascot. He looks the biggest danger among those that have had a run, though Emerald Sea should improve on her opening run at Newmarket. Debutant Taayel has entries in the Mill Reef and Middle Park so is obviously well regarded and he won't be far away if fully wound-up.
