Verdict
DESERT CHARM's winning run came to an end when a nose second over a mile at Salisbury a couple of weeks ago. However, that form was boosted when the winner was a short-head second off 4lb higher earlier this week and Mike Murphy's filly has to be noted as a result. Scarfo was only denied by a neck over 7f here recently and this return to a mile is in his favour. Others to note are Redhot Whisper, Galactic Glow and Knightmare.
