In depth
Verdict
Desert Spa is a standing dish in these events, but he has yet to race over this far. His dam is a half-sister to the St Leger runner-up Minds Music, so the trip shouldn't be a problem. Polish Baron is capable of fair form at this level and will take advantage if Desert Spa fails to stay. St Helensfield is the class act in the race, but he folded tamely when headed at Warwick and he may need treating with caution, while Alsahib and Daunted are others to consider.
