WAR MATTERS (3) kept coming last time to finish 2 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1m1f at Ascot. Sure to appreciate the extra journey and looms as a significant player. DESERT SLEEVE (9) steps up in trip after he was well held last time in ninth over 1m1/2f at Bunbury. Can do much better this time. TIFF'S LAD (2) will find this a little easier after missing the frame in town last time, finishing 12th over 7½f at Ascot. Backmarker who gets home hard. Should be competitive. BLAISZEN CAZAH (8) is backing up a week-and-a-half after finishing seventh over 1m3f at Ascot. Capable of putting that recent failure behind him.
