Anthony Honeyball complicates procedures by saddling two recent winners. Bumper winner The GEEGEEZ GEEGEE stepped up to this trip for the first time at Taunton and was always doing just enough. He's up 7lb for this but stablemate Cresswell Breeze was due to run yesterday at Plumpton so might be a doubtful runner. If she turns up here instead, however, she would be the selection. Allez Cool looked as though a first success was imminent when just beaten at Wetherby but blundered away his chance when favourite at Musselburgh. He can do better but Blake Dean runs over this longer trip for the first time.
