BREATH OF SUN is penalised for making a winning debut when successful over track and trip. But he had a subsequent winner back in third and Clive Cox’s colt can go close again given Zwelela disappointed at Newmarket back in August and hasn’t raced since. The latter may do better back over 6f today and is preferred to Canoodled but the newcomer If You Dare is a full-brother to a winner and a half-brother to others and one to keep an eye on.
