In depth
Verdict
DESERT DREAMER was unfancied in the betting on her debut but rallied late to win over the minimum trip here. The runner-up has subsequently won and with this extra furlong looking sure to suit Stuart Williams’ filly, she gets the vote. Southwell winner General Panic just missed out at Wolverhampton last time and also steps up in trip along with Yarmouth third Dashing Rat. Adatorio and Three Dons are both related to winners while Gidwa and Point Lynas are other newcomers to note.
