Lovely Breeze improved to win at Kempton last month but is penalised and BULLACE can take advantage. The latter made a promising start when runner-up at Sandown and normal progress could see Ralph Beckett’s colt off the mark. The newcomer Glyndebourne will need to be above average to make a winning start though she’s related to a host of winners including Arlington Million hero Debussy while Cable News debuted in a tougher race at Newmarket and is preferred to Totem.
