    Verdict

    Desert Lord is clearly held in high regard as the half-brother to the smart Carnival Dancer holds entries the Middle Park and Gimcrack. Sir Michael Stoute's colt gets all the allowances and may be able to take advantage. Yeoman Lad is progressing along the right lines and won a Chepstow maiden in comfortable fashion but this looks tougher under his penalty while Gems Bond represents a stable that can do little wrong in the juvenile department and is worth noting in the market.
