        Verdict

        Sound Breeze is progressing nicely and can make it three wins in a row at the expense of Langford and Hypnotic. Mark Johnston's three-year-old makes a quick return to the track having easily landed a handicap at Ayr earlier this week. The intention is also to have a crack at one of the Goodwood races and so he could use this as a stepping stone to further success. Hypnotic was a good servant to the yard last season, winning three races, including a listed event in France. If he is fit for his seasonal bow he should take a hand in the finish. Langford doesn't know how to run a bad race and put in another solid effort behind Cesare at Lingfield last time. He may need to drop a few pounds before winning again but should still be capable of making the frame. San Antonio has been a revelation this season and looks the pick of the others, however Sound Breeze still looks well ahead of the handicapper and should land the hat-trick.
