Race preview
Desert Master sets the standard with a rating of 75 and was just denied by three-quarters of a length over C&D on his latest outing. That said, he could go down to the less-exposed MACANUDO, who failed to justify favouritism on his second career start at Windsor, but showed plenty of pace to finish runner-up and the drop to 5f appears to be in his favour. Lightning Point returns to the turf after his third at Chelmsford and is one to watch.
