Claimed out of the stable of John Spearing after running Camp Commander close last month, Gallery Breeze is taken to make a winning start for Paul Blockley with Eastborough and Smith N Allan Oils rated the main dangers. The selection was showing much improved form in that latest race and a reproduction of that effort should suffice in a moderate contest. David Chapman's Gem Bien is bred to appreciate the surface but has yet to show his effectiveness on it and a bigger threat may come from Eastborough. Brendan Powell has his string in good form at present and the five-year-old lost no caste in defeat behind the progressive Mith Hill over further last time. Provided that he is not inconvenienced by the drop in trip, the son of Woodborough has to be respected. Smith N Allan Oils has claims on his bets form but the stable of Michael Dods has been rather quiet of late which is of concern, while Londoner is not the most consistent of performers. Alafzar has the assistance of Kieren Fallon but has plenty to find at the weights with several of these and preference is for Gallery Breeze to make a winning debut for Paul Blockley.
