Desert Illusion has placed a couple of times, including at Bath 10 days ago. Cheyenne Nation was only beaten a short-head by CRIME FICTION at Musselburgh three weeks ago and is a pound better off. But the winner had to be switched to get a run that day and can confirm running. Jazzagal may need this but Exceed is rarely beaten far and Loveliest has more scope than most.
