Quasqazah offered no encouragement first time and Piccadilly Jim will need to come forward from a Musselburgh debut to trouble the pair with form in the book. Dutch Breeze, runner-up on three of her five starts,was a more than respectable sixth to the highly-rated G Force here last time in a hot handicap but has ground to make if she's to overcome BLURRED VISION. He's been off 231 days but William Jarvis will surely have him ready for what looks a gilt-edged opportunity for the son of Royal Applause to break his maiden. He certainly sets a strong standard, having finished fourth here last October in the Listed Rockingham Stakes, prior to which he was an close-up third in competitive nursery company, also at this venue.
