In depth

Verdict

OUT OF BREATH only won a seller at Catterick 12 days ago but this isn’t much better and he may be able to defy a 3lb rise. Flower Power is well treated nowadays but not the force of old and, along with Inside Intel, was behind the selection last time. Le Magnifique has been disappointing since returning to the Flat and Framley Garth also has a lot to prove at present.
