Verdict
Bezzas Lad has been running well over 5f and is quite capable of winning at this level over this trip. Tawaafoq is only 2lb higher than when scoring here in July though hasn't run up to that form subsequently and Major Valentine, who was a close third, is much better off at the weights. Million Reasons looks no nearer winning and the three-year-old BREEZYANDBRIGHT, a winner at Brighton last month, ran well enough at Yarmouth last time to be given the nod.
