Exhalation returned a shock 80/1 winner over track and trip last time but she beat Al Ozzdi with something to spare and is only 5lb higher today. Gold Coast has been thereabouts over 7f recently while Class Clown scored over the same trip here back in March of last year. Corrida De Toros can figure returning to a mile for this but ABNAA is less exposed. The latter placed at Wolverhampton on his handicap debut and shouldn’t be far away at the finish with further progress on the cards.
