DESERT ISLAND DUSK was given a fair 5lb rise for his 2m course success earlier in the month, and with a career record at this track which reads 1,1,2,1 is the horse to focus upon. Maurice Barnes has enjoyed a productive year at Hexham, and this six-year-old can add to those gains by getting the better of Vercingetorix who has almost immediately improved for the switch to the excellent yard of Iain Jardine.
