Formscan  - DESERT CHAMPION lost little in defeat when finishing a close-up third at Wolverhampton last month and, sporting a visor for the first time on handicap debut, he gets the vote to go two places better this time around. Just Like Magic showed a likeable attitude when getting off the mark at the first time of asking in handicap company recently and he looks the main danger off 3lb higher. Commendation can also go well.
