Lovely Breeze was no match for the winner when runner-up in a conditions race at Wolverhampton but had gone close in a handicap before that. Adabbah struggled in a Listed race at Newmarket in September and has her first outing since while UNIQUE CUT (NAP) has switched yards having gone close when carrying a penalty in novice company at Wolverhampton. She’s reunited with winning partner Rab Havlin for her handicap debut and may prove the one to side with. Amber Island remains 5lb higher than when last successful and Cry Havoc looks more favourably handicapped.
