Formscan  - DESERT FOOTSTEPS took a big step forward when making a winning handicap debut over a mile at Chepstow last month and the three-year-old is hard to oppose on the back of that effort, despite a 6lb rise. Roscioli did not appear the relish the drop to 7f when last seen but is a player based on his previous efforts over this trip, while Lady Ava is the pick of the remainder.
