DESPERATE HERO (3) is a progressive Jack Channon trained sprinter who will have something to find with the principals on official ratings. Form of his Hamilton (5f) handicap success is working out and a big performance from a nice draw in stall five is anticipated. Winner of the G1 Nunthorpe Stakes last year LIVE IN THE DREAM (5) sets the standard on figures. Drawn widest of all and needs to bounce back from his disappointing fifth in the Listed Achilles Stakes at Haydock last time. First-time cheekpieces are an interesting addition for the G1 King Charles III Stakes sixth TWILIGHT CALLS (6). Seventh-placed horse that day MAKAROVA (7) also needs including down in grade.
