CATCH MY BREATH is getting closer and found only one too good at Kempton last week. It could be his turn again today. Dreamseller won at Thirsk but disappointed in soft going at Hamilton last time while Lucky Violet included this race in her three victories of 2018 but hasn’t won since. Insurplus can race off a lower mark on Turf but was still well beaten at Hamilton recently while Philip's Wish is unexposed and this faster surface should suit having struggled on his comeback.

Catch My Breath 15-2 (9-7) Slowly into stride, towards rear, headway on outside over 1f out, stayed on inside final furlong, went 2nd towards finish, no chance with winner, 2nd of 14, 1 1/2l behind Roca Magica (9-7) at Kempton 1m hcp (6) pol in Jul.
Jacob Black 16-1 (9-4) Jumped left out of the stalls, made headway towards mid-division 4f out, travelled smoothly before running into traffic, faded final furlong, 9th of 11, 13l behind How Bizarre (9-7) at Musselburgh 7f hcp (5) gd in Jul.
