Attaglance won at Market Rasen in November but couldn't live with the likes of Backspin and Our Mick at Bangor last time. He can figure back in this company, while Hobsons Bay can do better back over today's shorter trip after finishing a well beaten second at Wetherby on his latest start. Dizzy River has shown enough in bumpers to suggest he can make his presence felt on his hurdling debut, but the vote goes to IMPERIAL BREEZE. The Irish raider got off the mark at Ayr recently in a first-time tongue tie and now connections have the key to him, he looks capable of going in again.
