Verdict
Level Up hung under pressure at Salisbury last time and is now blinkered but he holds Poet on the form book and is improving with experience. Reversion is running over the minimum trip for the first time but this is a stiff track and the Newmarket third can’t be left out of calculations. Taaqat has a nice pedigree but the Crisfords have their team in outstanding form and DESERT TEAM can make a winning debut. She is the first foal to race of a Group 3 winner who made a winning start herself as a two-year-old.
