HOWZER BLACK (NAP) and Breguet Boy represent Keith Dalgleish. Though the latter has been in better form having won three times since September, the former would be the choice on his close fifth in the Spring Mile Handicap at Doncaster as he holds Sudona on their 1-2 at Haydock last summer. Dream With Me has been racing in Class 5 company, scoring over 1m4f at Wolverhampton last month, and may find a couple of these too quick, a remark that also applies to Let Her Loose, whose only victory came over 1m4f at Beverley. Four Kingdoms has won here and over the trip so shouldn't be totally dismissed.
