Verdict

The much-improved DESERT EMPEROR wasn't quite able to reel in the better positioned winner in a steadily-run contest at Newcastle last month, so he remains of firm interest. Marion's Boy and Melakaz are others who arrive in top form and must be taken seriously.

  1. DESERT EMPEROR
  2. MARION'S BOY (IRE)
  3. MELAKAZ (IRE)
