Verdict
Triplemoon, who finally got his head in front at the fourteenth attempt here last week, is taken to follow up under a penalty. Desert Air has run with plenty of credit in claimers recently and is not out of this despite giving weight away all round, while the maiden Hakam is another to enter calculations. However a bigger threat should be King Creole, who probably turned in his best effort to date at Epsom on a sound surface, before failing to handle softer conditions at Redcar. This faster surface here may bring about a little improvement.
