In depth
Verdict
Desert Safari made a winning start at Wolverhampton earlier in the month and incurs a penalty. QASBAZ is fancied to make the most of the weight concession given he was sent to Ascot for his introduction and finished a couple of lengths behind Cosmic Power, rated 81. That looks strong enough form to go close at this level. Wailea Nights drops down in trip after placing over 7f while Autumn Trail is preferred to Just May and Twelve Diamonds is a newcomer to note.
