Verdict
Macho Time and Aleneva have no easy task on today’s terms but there is little between the remaining trio. Temple Of Heaven found life tough in Listed company in soft going at Ayr last time and gets first-time blinkers while Hamish Macbeth ran well for third sent over to the Curragh for a valuable sales race last month. But DESERT SAFARI looks to have the strongest recent form having placed behind higher rated horses in the Two-Year-old Trophy at Redcar on his latest start and Mark Johnston’s colt gets another chance having won both previous outings on the all-weather.
