Lady De Vesci has won twice over a shorter trip in recent weeks and giving the impression that today's extra will suit. Noble Intention hasn't won since his two-year-old days but ran well over the trip last month and still looks on a reasonable mark. The lightly-raced EVERY BREATH has never run over the trip but stayed on strongly to score over the extended 1m2f and again when runner-up a fortnight ago - she can improve again and looks the one to beat. Poitin has won five times around here so can't be dismissed while A Few Bob Short has been placed eight times in a dozen starts and it's time he was winning.
