Peter Carberry has built up a rapport with Alpine Breeze having won three times on her this year. Don Cantillon's mare is ideally suited by this trip and her rider's claim is a bonus in this tight handicap. SENTIMENTALJOURNEY stays much further as his victory over 3m3f at Stratford in August suggests. He was unlucky in-running at Uttoxeter last time, however, and can get back to winning ways. Pairc Na Gcapall has the form for this at his best but he's badly out of sorts at the moment while Bai Zhu let his supporters down when strongly fancied at Fontwell last time where he jumped to the right throughout. Tout Regulier did well to win at Bangor in August but has struggled off her new mark subsequently.
