This is another competitive handicap and many would have chances on their best form, but the principles look to be Knickyknackienoo, Breezit and Turnberry and we will side with the last mentioned. The selection has shown a fair level of form over the winter on the AW and he looked as though he might be running into form when an eyecatching sixth behind Poker at Southwell last time. Knickyknackienoo rates the main danger as he had no luck in running when a strong finishing second behind She's Our Lass on this track over 7 furlongs last time. He will be helped by the step up in trip and is respected as a live danger. Breezit ran well last time at Nottingham, but she is probably better over 7 furlongs so is overlooked on this occasion for that reason. Larad is the other that could go well at an each-way price, but Turnberry is put forward as the tentative choice.
