SHADOW SEVEN (NAP) was beaten a couple of lengths by Lady De Vesci over this trip two weeks ago but didn't get the clearest of runs and made amends in no uncertain terms over 1m4f five days later. He's been raised 10lb but Alan Persse has been booked to claim 7lb and it's onwards and upwards for Joseph O'Brien's grey. Lady De Vesci will only be a few pounds worse off with the selection so has an obvious chance while Every Breath stayed on strongly to score over the track and trip and is progressing fast enough to make her presence felt. Brokopondo has won three times around here though it's taken 25 runs to reach that target and he's by no means certain to reverse form with Crossingoz after the latter beat him comfortably earlier this month.
