FABREZE was a good winner when last seen and with a good record fresh he is taken to make a winning return at the expense of Northern Dare, Lemon N Sugar and River Kirov. Peter Makin's son of Choisir was last seen at Kempton where he won cheekily under Eddie Ahern. Neil Callan, who won on the horse at Nottingham in May of 2008, takes over in the saddle today and a 6lb higher mark may not be enough to stop this horse's progression. Spitfire is out of form but may do better now dropped in trip, Orpenindeed looks handicapped up to the hilt, whilst Northern Dare ran quite well behind Canadian Danehill recently at Sandown and won't mind the step back up in trip. The mare Gentle Guru has a bit to prove as she drops in class, however when last seen in handicaps she was a comfortable winner off a 4lb lower mark. Lemon N Sugar is progressive and chases the hat-trick, and is also the best topping for pancakes, whilst Al Gillani has rocketed up the weights for a successful spell on the all-weather over the past 12 months. Recent winners River Kirov, Cape Rock and Street Power all need respect, especially if the market speaks in their favour, however it is Fabreze who is taken to clean up.
