Competitive stuff but, with testing conditions and a low draw in his favour, the consistent DESERT ACE has a great chance to regain the winning thread after a series of narrow defeats. Fellow mud-lover Show Palace also has plenty going for him and is unlikely to be far away whilst Ballesteros is capable of getting in the mix despite a less than ideal draw.
