DESERT SET TO STRIKE

NEWSBOY’S 1-2-3 1 DESERT SKYLINE 2 TIME TO STUDY 3 BELGRAVIA

DESERT SKYLINE is worth chancing at the trip.

Edged out a nose by Grey Britain at Newmarket, David Elsworth’s three-yearold didn’t get the rub of the green at Epsom when third to Drochaid in the valuable 10-furlong handicap that opens the Derby card.

Desert Skyline steps up to Group 2 level here, but his form compares favourably with that of his opponents – with the promise of more to come.

And the fact wily fox Elsworth believes a mile and six furlongs will prove within range is interesting.

Mark Johnston and Aidan O’Brien have the best recent record in this Time To Study race, so and Belgravia

warrant respect.

SKY’S THE LIMIT Desert Skyline can improve for today’s step up in distance
