Verdict
Gallery Breeze, Love In Seattle and Arran Scout look the three to concentrate on here and the vote is given to Gallery Breeze. The selection caught the eye in defeat at Carlisle last time when a good third behind Graceful Air. He was travelling sweetly but didn't find much for pressure that day but the drop back to this trip should suit and he is put forward as the one to beat. Love in Seattle rates the main danger as he won well on his seasonal reappearance. He is sure to come on for that run and he is respected. Arran Scout finished behind Love in Seattle last time and as there was very little between them at the finish that day, the chances are there will be little between them again today. Go Solo won well last time when beating Jubilee Street, but he had the run of the race that day and we are happy to return to Gallery Breeze who looks the one to beat.
