Verdict
Librisa Breeze was a little disappointing last time but there's no doubt he's better than that but it may be worth chancing four-time European Group winner KASPERSKY , particularly if there's soft in the going description. Massaat is a classy sort who shouldn't be dismissed if ready to go on return to action.
