DESERTED is the least exposed and should be spot on now after a couple of outings this year. Luca Cumani's filly can find the improvement necessary to get her head in front. Mingun Bell is not out of this dropping down a grade but the winless Running Deer has been raised another 3lb for finishing second at Sandown last time. Qanan and Batgirl are both course winners stepping up in trip and The Ducking Stool makes more appeal as she won over course and distance last month under today's apprentice.
