        Verdict

        Horsted Keynes is good enough at this level but hasn’t raced since September and is a rare winner nowadays. DESERT FROST is preferred making his handicap debut having gone close in novice company behind Tanseeq, who is rated 86 - Saeed bin Suroor’s charge should make a bold bid on that form. Peak Princess drops back down in both class and trip and could be in the mix while Suzi's Connoisseur can race off a lower mark having failed to win on Turf since 2014 but Mountain Rescue remains 7lb higher than last year’s success on the July course here.
