Race preview
It is hard to oppose COSMIC DESERT in a first-time hood. A drop in trip looks set to suit Charlie Appleby's charge given he weakened over 1m2f at Newmarket on his most recent outing last month. Harry Davies' 5lb claim should aid his cause, while Atrium eases in class and must be feared. Bling On The Music has shown promise in novice events recently and should not be discounted on his handicap bow.
