In a race where few arrive with compelling claims DAWN'S DESIRE is given a chance to build on last month's Fontwell third. Blue In The West and Locked Down Lad could pose threats if able to shrug off lesser runs last time, while Hughie Morrison's Urban Isle is a handicap newcomer to keep an eye on in the betting.
