In depth
Verdict
An ordinary opener and it would not take anything special from Desert Move to land this on debut, while Comical Errors and Red Rudy could be the ones for the frame. Desert Move is out of Campestral, a winner over this trip at two, out of Desert King, who has sired numerous juvenile winners and also acted on dead ground, so there is plenty to like about his chances. Mick Channon is having winners at the moment and this debutante can be another. Of those with experience, little make real appeal, though Comical Errors showed improved form to stay on for fourth over this trip last time and handled the cut well enough, so he can get closer here. Red Rudy is related to juvenile winners and also made a pleasing debut over six furlongs, but looks likely to be better suited by this seven and he too can improve provided that the ground is not a problem. However, despite being a newcomer, Desert Move has the right stuff to take this.
