Keith Dalgleish trains the three at the heads of the weights but two of them - Le Magnifique and Feldspar – were well beaten behind MAGNA MORALIA (NAP) and Caldwell at Kelso earlier this month. That was a much-improved effort from John Quinn’s charge and he can reverse earlier Catterick running with Genever Dragon. Breguet Boy is a dual course and distance winner and back against his own age group today so can’t be ignored while Progressive has been highly tried since making a winning debut at Doncaster in December.
