In depth

Verdict

Straight Ash won over 1m3f here last month but struggled back here on New Year’s Day and a chance is taken DREW BREEZE fares better having won at the track a week ago. The latter carries a penalty but beat both Life Knowledge and Kybosh easily enough and should confirm superiority. Compass Point has won over a mile here though has yet to run over this far but Lion's Vigil was beaten only a nose over today’s trip at Ripon during the summer and debuts on the surface.
