Formscan - DESERT FLOWER will likely start a warm order and deservedly so. The daughter of Night Of Thunder displayed top-class form last year, culminating with a convincing victory in the Fillies' Mile over C&D, and an impressive racecourse gallop at the track recently further boosts confidence. Lake Victoria is another filly out of the top drawer, having recorded a hat-trick of wins at the highest level as a two-year-old, including the Cheveley Park here. The Ballydoyle inmate beat Red Letter at the Curragh before that, although the latter would have finished closer than fourth with a clear run. Duty First landed the Fred Darling at Newbury in fine style and can confirm superiority over runner-up Hey Boo.
