Verdict

BRANTINGHAM BREEZE remains a maiden under Rules and has failed to complete the last twice but she does handle testing conditions, has gone well for her 10lb conditional in the past and has some respectable form to her name when completing. That allowance could prove crucial in the ground and she's taken to get back on track. Haverstock hasn't been disgraced the last twice and Legion D'Honneur enters calculations if able to reproduce a much-improved effort when runner-up here earlier this month. Recent winner Bredon Hill Lad is proven on the ground and warrants consideration as well whilst Warsaw Pact also has place claims in a tricky opener.
