Verdict

Desert Lover can win this at the expense of Kindkintyre and Haroldini. The selection has been kept busy this autumn and caught the eye when third to Dasheena over course and distance last time out. He has won off this mark in the past and therefore has a lot going for him. Kindkintyre has not won since last December but this is his time of the year and he has slipped down the weights so is worth noting in the betting market. Harlodini was in good from in the spring but his from of late has dwindled of late so is very much one horse to treat with caution. So for the winner we return to Desert Lover.
