Desert Creek will not represent much value but will prove difficult to beat while both Yirga and Avoir Choisi are worth noting in the betting market. The selection caught the eye when second on his debut at Windsor running green in the process. He is entitled to come on for the experience and looks the one they all have to catch. Yirga is a newcomer form the Godolphin camp who are always worth respecting at this venue late on in the season, while Avoir Choisi is another newcomer that comes form a stable with a fantastic strike in these types of races and will be worth noting in the betting market. But for the winner we return to DESERT CREEK.
