    Verdict

    Desert Air needed to be dropped in to a claimer to get off the mark last time and is not certain to confirm the form with runner-up Harry The Beaver. The latter is now 5lb better off for just under two lengths and it should be close between the pair but both may struggle to contain Adaleel. Alec Stewart's charge has shown progressive form this term and was scoring for the third time in handicap company at Brighton last month. There may be more improvement to come from this relativleyl lightly raced colt who can overcome a subsequent 4lb rise. Sualda faced a stiff task last time but this is more his level and he remains on a fair mark despite rattling up a hat-trick earlier in the year.
