Bosun Breese and Ingleby Star have similar profiles in that both are admirably consistent but appear to be exactly where the handicapper wants them. However, both can be expected to go well here with connections choosing to deploy useful apprentices to offset the attentions of the assessor. The latter is narrowly preferred of the pair but SENATE MAJORITY was a decisive scorer of what looked a competitive Haydock handicap in June, showing real pace and putting matters to bed with comfort. He'll be hard to beat if returning in the same mood. Dancing Freddy is hard to predict but ran well when a close-up third at Chepstow last time. However, that was on the soft and he may find a couple of these too sharp on quicker ground.
