In depth

Verdict

Crosse Fire has been in fine form at Southwell but is at his best on the Fibresand and QUICK BREATH is preferred. The latter returned to action with a good effort over track and trip a fortnight ago and Jonathan Portman’s charge scored off today’s mark here last summer. Blame Culture won at Wolverhampton in February but was a disappointing favourite at Kempton last time while Harbour Vision has won a couple of lower grade races here this year but is 5lb higher than his latest success. Sweet And Dandy has yet to win a handicap and also has something to prove over this longer trip.
