      Verdict

      Desert River opened his account in a low grade sprint at Chelmsford and will find this tougher. Chepstow winner Joules failed to cope under a penalty last time while though Mywayistheonlyway beat Willsy at Doncaster back in April he has failed to figure in three subsequent starts. IBERICA ROAD was not beaten far when fourth in a maiden race at Newmarket last time and Andrew Balding’s charge may be the answer to this with further progress likely now handicapping for the first time.
