Fullon Clarets didn't have too much to do to lose his maiden tag at Lingfield but did it nicely and will have come on for the run. Richard Fahey also runs SARISTA, who looks to have a better chance. She landed a Ripon maiden at this time a year ago and only had two subsequent starts when close up in Listed company at York and Ascot. She was badly drawn in the latter event but showed excellent pace and is given the nod to make a successful return. Twilight Son is unbeaten in two minor races and a handicap mark of 83 could prove lenient but Desert Force faces a stiff task on a massive 11lb higher mark for gaining an impressive victory over 7f here.
