Breath Of Blighty's second to Buveur D'Air at Huntingdon in January is the stand-out form in this but he didn't really build on that in subsequent runs and has his first start since May. Clic Work was well beaten in both starts last season after arriving from France but Twycross Warrior ran well for a 100/1 chance when sixth at Kempton in April and Kalaskadesemilley has gone close in his last two at Worcester and Bangor. BEAU DU BRIZAIS was a bit keen at Hereford nine days ago but only weakened approaching the last and should be a factor here if settling better as he's still unexposed.
