Three-year-olds DESERT FALCON and Capital Guarantee make the most appeal. Cheekpieces are likely to bring about more improvement from Sir Mark Prescott's progressive charge and he gets the narrow vote over his hat-trick seeking rival. La Maquina and Larado, the latter a winner on this card last year, lurk on tempting marks and could go well.
