Breath Of Blighty had every chance when falling two out at Huntingdon but Oliver's Hill got nowhere near the winner in a three-runner race over a much longer trip at Plumpton last time and the jury is out on Clondaw Banker after a poor run when favourite at Fontwell. Mango Cap is feasibly treated but looking one-paced so we’ll take YPSILANTI to pick up the winning thread again. Tom Weston’s charge has, as expected, improved for the switch to fences and his Southwell conqueror franked the form next time.
