Our view
Best selection: Desertmore News. A Race DNA fit of 82 – today's going, trip and track suit what it has shown before; trainer Tom Ellis has had 12 winners from 70 runners in our recent records.
The case against: returns from a long break, so fitness is a question; handicap marks are meant to level the field; we can't yet confirm how it handles good to soft ground from our own records.
Others to consider: Wandering Ego and Sinnatra.
