Avon Breeze is penalised for last week’s winning reappearance over track and trip while Robero is 10lb higher than when scoring at Ascot back in May. Courier’s earlier win came in soft ground over 7f at Haydock and Tavener is best over the latter distance nowadays. BAMBER BRIDGE was fourth in a valuable sales race at Doncaster last year and makes his handicap debut on his return. Michael Dods’ colt gets a tentative vote with doubts surrounding the remainder.
