SABRE SQUADRON won a maiden race in good style at Leicester and breeding suggests this longer trip will be within his compass. Clayton Hall beat Daisy Bere at Haydock last month and the latter finished second again at Pontefract recently. Justice Grace has a bit to find with the latter pair on Haydock running and Giveaway Glance is preferred stepping up in trip after a second over a mile at Sandown. Wotabreeze won a lower grade race at Hamilton earlier and Strictly Art has only won a claimer so far.
