Chapelli was only headed close home on her reappearance at Pontefract and will be fancied to go one better here racing off the same mark but Youssini, twice a winner over 5f last year, ran well over this trip at Ripon in August until finding rain-softened ground against him at Doncaster. He’s had wind surgery and been gelded since so may have more to offer but BREATH OF AIR was third in a Listed race on his final start of 2018 and an earlier win at Newbury has worked out well. He is potentially well treated and Ryan Moore rides. Oberyn Martell was a close-up fourth at Wolverhampton in February and should strip fitter here.
