Jacquotte Delahaye and City Zen complicate matters as both were engaged to run in a maiden race here yesterday. Online Alexander would have been the selection after a third at Nottingham if she didn't have a high draw to overcome and the vote goes instead to GENTLE BREEZE. The Godolphin filly couldn't live with a winner rated 85 at Windsor last time but this should prove an easier task. Birkacre failed to build on a promising debut when well beaten at York albeit in much better company. But better is expected today and she can figure along with An Chulainn, another likely to improve for her debut outing at Ripon.
