Catch My Breath has been in fine form over a mile here but has yet to win over this far while course and distance regular Subliminal is now 7lb higher than when landing a double here earlier. Nawar and Exmoor Beast return to their winning trips having both won at the end of last year while Convertible and STOPNSEARCH (NAP) ran well in the same race over course and distance last month. The former finished runner-up but Brett Johnson’s charge wasn’t far away in fourth having ran into trouble on more than one occasion and should be sharper for that first outing since October.
