Gallery Breeze looks the best option in this modest event, Point Of Dispute and Tartiruga could be the main opponents. Gallery Breeze is one the more consistent runners in the line up and his recent second to Barking Mad over course and distance stands out as quite strong form and gives him every chance of getting involved here. Les Cottrell is scaling down his operation but is still a very capable trainer. He trains Tartiruga, who returns from a short spell over hurdles where he was highly tried, racing against the likes of Penzance and Three Welshman. His previous all-weather form here is of a decent standard, and looks to have strong claims on in a very weak affair. Point Of Dispute makes a quick return to the track having finished not far behind Hammer Of The Gods at Lingfield on Monday. He is not the most consistent of performers but should reach the places. So not the strongest of contests and Gallery Breeze can go well at a decent price
