        Verdict

        Desert Royalty, Fernery and Nofa's Magic look the three to concentrate on in this classified stakes race and the nomination goes to Desert Royalty. The selection was a fair third behind Alrabab on his last run last season under similar conditions and a reproduction of that effort here should suffice if he is fit enough to do himself justice on this his first run of the season. Fernery rates the main danger he has already had a run this season when fourth behind Zero Tolerance and he will not need to improve much on that effort to win this. Nofa's Magic is another that could go well he was a fair third behind October Mist last time but he looks very one paced and may do better in handicaps. Of the remainder Pardishar has been in fair form over hurdles of late and is worth a cautionary look in the market but for the winner we return to Desert Royalty.
