With Russian Affair probably best watched on his first start since November, this looks best left to EASTERN BREEZE. Frankie Dettori's mount is improving with experience and a reproduction of her run behind Nordic Sky over this trip at Pontefract last month would probably suffice here. Ayaarah is another returning from a long break and none of the others with experience have shown enough so far to suggest they can take a hand in the finish.
