Second Collection is slowly coming down the weights but still generally finding life hard of his current mark. But the booking of Hollie Doyle suggests better can be expected here and a return to form would see him go close. Both Lethal Blast and Glamorous Breeze are performing consistently at this level with the former preferred of the pair as he seeks a fifth win of the campaign. There was a length between LIBERTINE BELLE and Spurofthemoment when they came home fifth and sixth in a better race at Sandown but the selection didn't get the best of runs that day and is the more the consistent of the two.
