A couple of these are bred to improve for this extra distance including Miss Dolly Rocker, who has placed in all four outings so far and was narrowly beaten at Lingfield last time. But Andrew Balding’s all-weather team has hit top form and BRORA BREEZE is expected to show further progress having finished fourth behind the progressive Raintown at Lingfield last time. Calmly is another likely improver while the newcomers Understated and Surrey Belle have plenty of stamina in their pedigrees.
