Thello could give a boost to the form of Newmarket Warrior in the first division of this handicap. Breanski was only beaten a neck over course and distance last month while International Law dead-heated at Windsor on his latest start. REY LOOPY (NAP) travelled strongly into the race when successful over track and trip last time. This is a step up but he seems to be improving and third course victory could be on the cards. Alpine Dream will probably prove the pick of the remainder.
