In keeping with his pedigree, PALLADAS looked every inch a smart prospect when comfortably seeing off a couple of useful opponents starting out at Kempton in January. His subsequent absence is no real concern given connections and he's expected to successfully concede weight all round. Regal Desire is at the other end of the buying spectrum but she has displayed ability both starts, while Assiri Heights could be a different proposition this time.
