After several nice efforts DESERT FROST can finally get his head in front with today's rider more than good value for his 3lb claim and that can make the difference for this gelding who has been hitting the crossbar this summer. Last year's winner Highland Acclaim loves it here and won over C&D back in July, he is a big danger as long as the rain stays away. His main rival a year ago Handytalk should again be involved too.
