DESERTMORE VIEW (NAP) is difficult to oppose in this given the way he won at Chepstow. Marc Barber's charge has won three of his six races between the flags and made a smooth transition to the larger obstacles at the Welsh track. Can Mestret won at Fakenham in February and was second back at that course last month. Gina Andrews' mount looks a bigger danger than Ludlow third Samtheman, who may find this sharp enough on the prevailing going. Joker Choker would have a chance on past form but Tiermore and Empyrean need to find further improvement.
