Not an easy end to the card and just narrow preference is for BROOKLYN BREEZE ahead of Robbers Glen, Sleeping Night and Always Right. Len Lungo's gelding has relatively few miles on the clock for his age and he is proven on testing ground. His recent 3rd to Limerick Boy was not a bad effort as it was his first run for a while and this step back up in trip should play to his strengths. He receives 8lbs from Robbers Glen, who would otherwise have been most interesting. He caught the eye in a recent point-to-point and should strip fitter for that outing. Backers of Always Right have been on the ball of late as he rewarded favourite backers when a point-to-point winner at Sheriff Hutton last time. He stays well and should be in his element here, but again he has to give weight away to the selection. Time To Reflect has been off the track for sometime, whilst Tynedale looks to have a bit to do on official figures but is another who has been successful in recent outings between the flags. Not an easy finale then but Brooklyn Breeze is nominated.
