Verdict
Desdemona failed in her bid to complete a three-timer when only sixth over 6f here last month, but both of her previous victories came over this distance so there will be plenty who give her another chance. C&D scorer Wedgewood may also have a say, but TUSCAN POINT finished over three lengths clear of the third when hitting the woodwork at Catterick and with the Adam Kirby yard in fine order, he looks the one to side with.
