        Verdict

        Desert Hawk has been in good form of late and is taken this at the expense of Longhill Tiger and Dance Flumpa. The selection was in winning form at one furlong less here on his penultimate start and was not discredited when placed third of nine at Newbury last time out. With soft ground conditions in his favour and trip that will suit he is one to keep on the right side of. Longhill Tiger will be an obvious danger having run well on a number of occasions this season but is still a maiden after eight starts. His latest effort when finishing mid division at Newmarket was a fair one and with this drop in grade he has to be respected. As does Dance Flumpa who has not won since last September but again has run a number of decent races without success. His latest outing though was disappointing so he is possibly best watched. So for the winner we return to Desert Hawk as the likely winner.
