A decent renewal in prospect with Mail The Desert heading the weights. She was fancied by some shrewd judges when finishing fourth in the Henry Carnarvon Stakes at Ascot last month and has the beating of Black Belt Shopper on that line of form. Celtic Sapphire looks a genuine seven furlong horse and finished third behind her stablemate and talking horse, Tomahawk in the Chesham Stakes. Her next race at Newmarket was run with a slow early pace which probably didn't suit and providing that there is pace on today, she is taken to regain the winning thread. Princess Sabaah ranks as the potential fly in the ointment to the selection. She looked to be travelling well at Windsor before succombing to Elidore in the closing stakes and if she stays the trip she should not be far away. Havantadoubt made all at Beverley but had her limitations exposed at Doncaster next time up while Glenviews Purchase takes a big step up in distance and grade today.Spiritual Air has looked progressive but has questions to answer about this trip.
