Verdict

DESERT PEACE is penalised for making a winning start at Kempton. But there looked plenty more left in the tank on that occasion and this doesn’t look a strong race. Battle Of Liege is the first of several Aidan O’Brien runners on the card though he never figured at Naas on his debut and Emirates Currency is preferred on a close-up fifth at Wolverhampton. Cruyff can only improve having debuted in a tougher contest at York and is preferred to the newcomer Mayson Mount.
