Verdict

Father McKenzie's two moderate efforts have been on soft ground and he wouldn't want more rain but his overall form in similar class puts him in the frame. The filly Sugar Beach can be given another chance after her run over 7f on Tapeta at Newcastle while Gokena looked in need of experience on very fast ground at Leicester. MONT ROYAL was only beaten a head on his debut over this track and trip then ran well after a tardy start in a better race at Carlisle. He has a speedy pedigree and Olly Pears' grey can gain his first success. Watch the betting for clues to Breathoffreshair, a half-brother to three winners including useful miler Chigun.
