Desert Ben is capable of taking this but he doesn't win often enough though he's undoubtedly well enough treated to take this if on a going day. Trotting Weasel is another with a poor record as a strike-rate of 1 from 37 indicates. He's been runner-up too many times to have faith in while Almadaa is still a maiden after 16 starts and is probably better over further. DESERT AL hasn't had much racing for his age but won over the minimum trip from just 3lb lower here a year ago and will be better for a promising reappearance behind Measure Approval a couple of weeks ago.
