In depth
Verdict
Just a small field so possibly a tactical affair is in store, which is probably just as well for a couple of those with stamina to prove ( Airshow and Ventura Dragon ). The sole filly SIMPLY BREATHLESS appears an upwardly mobile juvenile, and her opening mark of 70 looks perfectly fair on what she's achieved to date and she can be fancied to get the better of the top-weighted previous C&D scorer Liva .
