In depth

Verdict

OUT OF BREATH can continue winning ways in this company. He landed a hat-trick upped to 1m6f at Redcar last time having earlier beaten Framley Garth at Hamilton. The latter has failed to figure since and Lord Torranaga may prove a bigger threat on last month’s second over track and trip. Firlinfeu and Fahad are struggling and hard to recommend.
