Verdict

The progressive BREATH OF JOY has won two of her last three starts and looks worth sticking with given the ease of her latest success at Pontefract. Full Authority should be sharper for a recent reappearance and a tongue-tie is added on her second outing after wind surgery while Clareyblue has a shout on a placed effort at Newmarket last time. Al Dawodiya has only won a maiden so far and Nigel Nott’s earlier wins came over the minimum trip but A Sure Welcome is usually in the mix and Last Surprise should improve for last month’s comeback run here.
