Verdict
PYJAMA PARTY will likely start a very short price in this given he was only headed right on the line by Up The Lights when favourite at Nottingham 11 days ago. None of his rivals can match that kind of form with Desktop being beaten six lengths when second at Newcastle - he'll surely need further than this. Cooper continues to look a tricky ride while Storm Check appeared to go backwards last time at Newmarket and clearly isn't one of Godolphin's leading lights. Almared will be qualified for handicaps after this.
