Formscan - DESDEMONA hit the crossbar twice, including behind the bang in-form Beauzon, before going one better in emphatic fashion at Lingfield. A 5lb rise still leaves her well treated compared to the peak of her powers and she can strike again while the iron is hot. Buraback took a step back in the right direction when runner-up over C&D and that form was boosted when the winner followed up. Top Star was a solid second at Southwell, although that form doesn't appear quite as strong.
