In depth

Verdict

Second Collection finished runner-up at Wolverhampton when dropping back down to 6f last time but has had plenty of chances. SCORCHED BREATH has more scope and, having shown ability with a third at Kempton on last month’s debut, Charlie Fellowes’ charge can open his account with normal progress. He should also have the measure of both Fort Benton and Estranged but the newcomer With Caution is a half-sister to a winner and may prove a threat.
