Beach Break has his fair share of weight but shaped better last time and the course and distance winner isn't discounted if fully back on track. Socks Off looks reasonably weighted and Kevin Brogan's claim will aid his cause further but a chance is taken on SOLDIER ON PARADE. He hasn't really built on a promising juvenile hurdle campaign but has been aimed pretty high and ran well on the Flat recently. Kajaki and Authorize need to improve on recent efforts but The Blame Game has gone well here in the past.
