In depth
Verdict
Brooklyn Breeze has proved a revelation over timber and can complete a hat-trick with The Kew Tour and Silver Knight the dangers. Lennie Lungo's charge was a convincing 11-length winner here last time and has shaped as though this step up in trip can bring further improvement so should prove hard to beat under Tony Dobbin. The Kew Tour has won both starts over timber in pleasing fashion but the overall form leaves him with a little to find but Silver Knight has failed to make an impact in better company but should be a different proposition at this level and has to be respected. North Gold left previous efforts behind last time and looks best of the remainder.
