Verdict
Oh So Sassy returned a clear winner at Kempton last time but won't find this as easy after a 13lb hike in the weights. Rock Up won his maiden by five lengths but couldn't cope with a 4lb rise last time and a chance is taken on DESERT COMMAND. He has yet to race over the minimum trip but was beaten only a short-head when attempting to make all over 6f at Epsom last time and may well hold on for the win this time. Howyadoingnotsobad could figure dropping back down a grade and Pucon is usually thereabouts at this level though she disappointed when favourite in soft ground here last month.
