Verdict

Breath Caught hasn’t won since 2018 but went close at Epsom last time having switched yards since last year. He’s taken to confirm running with both Data Protection and Ironclad and go close again but NICKLAUS is just preferred. The latter is also looking to end a losing run having found only one too good dropped into this grade at Ripon last time and the Haggas yard continues to fire-in the winners. Away He Goes should be winning a handicap soon having attempted to make all at Doncaster last month and Joyful Mission will be sharper for a recent comeback.
