BREGUET BOY was only beaten a neck in a handicap at Newcastle before easily landing a classified race on the same track five days later. His only previous run here came on Fibresand but it will be a surprise if he’s not in the firing-line today, despite a 7lb rise in the weights. Carlos Felix rather lost his way in the autumn but reappears on a very lenient mark while Mollie Phillips gets on well with Destinado, though her mount was a very disappointing favourite in the race won by King Athelstan here just over three weeks ago. Purple Reign was three lengths behind Jackamundo at Yarmouth in October and is only a pound better off.
