Spirit Of Breeze has finished the closest of these recently with a fourth on the all-weather. All In The Hips won on soft ground back in April while Talamanca has returned to the same mark as when successful at Redcar last autumn. Gustav Ucicky may improve on only his second outing for a new yard but a speculative vote in a weak contest goes to OUTREACH, who won’t have to improve much to get involved on his handicap debut.
