      In depth

      Verdict

      Brouhaha could have a say in this race if returning to his best form and that could happen after displaying some improved efforts recently and his yard back in the winners. This time though the vote has to go to DESERT RECLUSE after Pat Eddery's runner was only just denied in a better race at Ascot from which have come some very strong form-lines. Record Breaker usually runs his race but might be high in the weights while Proud Times has won his only start at this venue but he's been well held off this rating the last twice. Mystery Star has also won his only run here but will need to improve to get the better of Desert Recluse.
