Verdict
Interesting that Henry Cecil has kept an unraced four-year-old in training and the hint should be taken. Desert Heat runs here in preference to a maiden later on in the week and this doesn't look that strong a race. The disappointing Countess Miletrian and Khams-Alhawas may follow him home.
