Paul Kealy's Saturday banker at Sandown

2.40 Sandown

Entered in the Champagne and Royal Lodge Stakes, Desert Hero ran out a commanding winner on his debut at Haydock in June despite taking a bump at the start, and he looks a horse of immense promise.

The ground was officially soft that day, but it was nothing of the sort (it wasn't even good to soft), so don't worry about what seem to be forecast much quicker conditions. He'll be fine.
