Verdict
Blau Grau, Noble Calling and Breeze Home look the ones to concentrate on in this wide open affair and we will take a chance on Breeze Home. The gelding from the Ian Williams yard was a good winner when defeating Pompeii at Market Rasen last time out and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat. Blau Grau rates the main danger as he has plenty of scope for improvement, as he has only had one run when he was a fair fourth behind Sovereign State. He is sure to improve and will not be far away. Noble Calling could also go well he was a fair sort at up to 10 furlongs on the flat and is taking a drop in grade for this his third run over hurdles-he is worth a cautionary look in the market. Of the remainder Tyrrellspass was a fair third in a better race behind Saafend Rocket last time and is taking a drop in class so he has definite place claims, but we are happy to side with the last time out winner Breeze Home in the hope that he can reproduce that form.
