Wild Desert made all at Bath last time and is only 3lb higher. This looks a similar contest but the probable strong pace will suit veteran Captain Oats and Comedy House can't be ignored with the headgear back on. IGUACU hasn't won on the Flat for three years but was in good form over hurdles in the spring, winning at Stratford. He's on a very lowly mark and might be the one to beat with Galactic Halo still having much to prove and Chella Thriller better on the all-weather.
