Verdict
It was soft going at Ayr when OTTO OYL (NAP) returned to winning ways and another bold bid is expected on similar ground. Catch My Breath is not the most straightforward though beat Kiss Kiss over track and trip last month. The latter re-opposes on better terms and is fancied to reverse running while Priscilla's Wish also has a shout on last week’s second at Nottingham.
