Formscan  - Having looked a smart prospect when making a winning debut at Newmarket, DESERT CASTLE is one to keep on the right side of. Although the Frankel colt hung left in the closing stages that day, he still put his rivals to the sword easily and bigger things may beckon. Gentle Hurricane arrives on the back of a decent second in the Acomb at York and he sets a good standard for the selection to aim at, while the hat-trick seeking Rosberg is also heading in the right direction.
