Desert Haven
Two-time Flat winner is 0-12 over hurdles but has run well in defeat; beaten 0.75l off 2lb lower in this race last May (good); decent effort at Kilbeggan latest when 3.5l behind Piccolo Player; should go well with blinkers back on.

From the connections
“Desert Haven's last two runs last season were disappointing but he was getting a little raspy of his wind and we did a little job on it and I'd say it helped him a bit. Colin (Keane) is adamant that he's better on a turning track so you'd imagine Galway could come into the equation at some stage - Noel Meade, trainer, speaking to Racing TV.”
