In depth

Verdict

Breathalyze has done all of his winning at Chester so far and there are stamina doubts stepping up to a mile. Richard Hannon runs three of which Sea Voice may prove the pick ahead of Count Of Amazonia. Richard Hughes has two entries and Bermuda Schwartz could go well off a low weight while King Of Arms has already won this year and represents the in-form John Gosden. Johan was out of his depth in a Group 3 in October and could be interesting but SOCIETY LION, who was very green on debut, has bags of scope for improvement after winning easily at Yarmouth on his second start.
