Verdict

With the stalls in the centre, any draw advantage may have been negated and this looks wide-open with several arriving in decent form. Breccbennach is on a hat-trick after victories at Lingfield and Windsor. Firmdecisions wasn't winning out of turn at Lingfield while Joey's Destiny keeps knocking on the door but continues to climb the weights. Discussiontofollow, Hillbilly Boy and Red Refraction are others with fair recent form while Trader Jack has dropped to a fair mark and showed a bit more last time. BLESSINGTON finished behind Joey's Destiny and Discussiontofollow when favourite last month at Windsor but didn't get the run of the race and was staying on strongly in the closing stages. If William Buick can find the gaps here, he could recoup losses. Clear Spring ran well on his return at Ripon, when just behind Hillbilly Boy, and is also worth a second look.
