Verdict
Most of these have a handicap rating with Nosey Barker and What Could She Be closely matched at the weights. Both have been placed recently but the latter has ran well here before and makes most appeal of that pair. There is little between the likes of Boolass, Pushingmypatience and Midlight but BREATHLESS remains unexposed. Andrew Balding's charge has yet to threaten on Polytrack but his trainer boasts an outstanding strike rate here particularly with three-year-old runners and he gets a speculative vote to open his account.
