Galen (5/4), Ylang Ylang (7/4), Lord Massusus (5/1), Power Under Me (10/1), Mutasarref (12/1), Mountain Bear (20/1), Bright Stripes (25/1), Empress Of Beauty (80/1), Real Appeal (100/1)

Verdict

An intriguing renewal of the Desmond Stakes with several considered but the suggestion is YLANG YLANG, who flopped when sent off a warm order in the Oaks at Epsom in June but has had some time to recover and returns back down in trip/grade. Last year's winner Lord Massusus can give the selection most to think about, with the progressive Galen rounding off the shortlist dipping his toe into pattern company for the first time.

  1. YLANG YLANG
  2. LORD MASSUSUS (IRE)
  3. GALEN
