Verdict
Desert Recluse should strip fitter for his second at Stratford. Hawdyerwheesht is rarely far away but is probably high enough in the weights at present. Cusheen Bridge was raised 7lb for winning at Southwell but is another that rarely runs a bad race, though he stays further than this. WATT BRODERICK doesn't always find much off the bridle and has been out of luck in three previous visits here. But he could take some pegging back if allowed an easy lead so gets the nod.
