        Verdict

        Some lightly raced and progressive three-year-olds in opposition in an interesting heat and Sharp Breeze is taken to defy top weight. The David Loder-trained colt proved well suited by this trip when making all to land a maiden at Lingfield but was found wanting for stamina when only third in a strongly-run affair behind a subsequent winner over an extended nine furlongs here next time. The return to his optimum trip should make him hard to peg back with forcing tactics likely to pay dividends once again. Pooka's Daughter is fairly treated on her easy win at Wolverhampton in January and has to be respected while Yarrita will be sharper for his recent comeback. Senor Pedro represents an in-form yard and is another to consider but Wensleydale Lad has more on his plate after lifting a poor seller last time.
