Verdict

Second in the Group 3 Horris Hill on his final start last year, ARABIAN DESERT was beaten at 1/8 on his return at Pontefract last month but that form has been boosted since. With that in mind, the son of Frankel can make amends here. El Nay has reached the frame twice on the all-weather and could do even better on turf, while Tornado Tower's Nottingham second will have given connections plenty of encouragement.
