      Verdict

      Bahamian Desert is still improving judged on his recent success at Musselburgh and Testa Rossa returned to winning ways over track and trip last time. But HAYMARKET (NAP) went close in a higher grade handicap here on his latest start and he gets the vote to go one better with Garry Whillans' allowance further helping his cause. Tectonic looks to be treading water off his current mark and both off Archipeligo's wins came on the all-weather at Wolverhampton.
