CANDELISA has returned to the all-weather in fine form and scored a shade comfortably over course and distance last month. He beat Divine Messenger with subsequent winner Delicate Kiss further behind and Dave Loughnane’s charge is taken to confirm running and go in again. Divine Messenger looks the biggest threat once again given Lethal Missile is another with plenty to find with the selection while the returning Harbour Breeze has recorded both wins so far over longer trips. Intrepidly hasn’t won since 2017 and has switched yards since last in action.
