Verdict
Hatton Cross doesn't win very often but has dropped to his lowest mark for almost two years as a consequence and has a chance in a poor contest. Master Bond is on a long losing run and keeps changing stables, while Jan Steen has been running moderately on the all-weather. Secret Path has only won at Dundalk and it's a very long time since the veteran BREEZOLINI won a race. However, the latter was going on strongly at the finish over 6f at Fairyhouse last time and as that was only his second start since November he's taken to get back on track. Always Dancing would have an obvious chance if getting a run from her reserve spot after Wednesday's victory at Kilbeggan.
