This looks something of a lottery. Both Abnaa and Al Suil Eile finished runner-up over today’s trip on their penultimate starts while Light Lily finished in front of Eyes and Bavardages when fourth over track and trip. Bronze River placed at Newcastle last time while Madrinho won at Wolverhampton on his latest start. But BRECKLAND has tumbled back down the weights and having found one too good at Kempton on his debut for a new yard, he gets a speculative vote.
