Both Keble and Librisa Breeze landed the odds over today's trip on their latest starts at Goodwood and Lingfield respectively. Pathway To Honour came good over a mile at Lingfield back in February and ARGUS opened his account in a Ripon maiden race over 1m2f earlier this month. The latter had a subsequent winner back in third and Ralph Beckett's colt gets the nod in a tight contest on that form. Makzon may do better now handicapping but Giantouch does not look particularly well handicapped and Mywayalways has gone back up in the weights for finishing second at Haydock.
