Top Breeze has a race-fitness advantage over most of these having scored at Lingfield in February. He won here last April and it will be a surprise if he doesn't get into contention. Motagally made great strides last summer to end up with a double over 6f though an 8lb rise could prove just beyond him while Daschas is up 6lb for his latest success at Yarmouth in September. National Anthem's three victories have been at Southwell while MOUNTAIN PEAK is 5lb higher than when scoring over the course and distance in July. However, that was Class 2 handicap and he's taken to defy an absence to gain his seventh career victory on his 23rd start.
