Verdict
DESERT MASTER missed the break and then ran green when second to Ziggy’s Phoenix at Ripon. The winner boosted the form when landing the Lily Agnes at Chester on Wednesday and James Tate’s colt can make the most of his experience today. Biloxi Boy, an 88,000gns half-brother to two winners, and the sprint-bred Serried Ranks, should win races in the coming months if not today.
